Itinerary:

Join me on one of my favorite area paths, Paces Mill/Palisades. This shady, paved trail walks you by the Chattahoochee River and a tributary. it's a great walk for beginners with little elevation and an evenly paved path.

We will hike at a moderate pace and take the elevations at the end at a slow pace if needed. We'll turn around after 45 minutes, and head back on the same path. This path is a good one if you want to hike slowly at your own pace because we can meet you on the way back.

Entrance to this park is on 41/Cobb Parkway near the BP station at Paces Mill Road. There is a $5 parking fee unless you have an annual pass. Be prepared with cash if you need a tag.

Up to 2 dogs are permitted, so if you see 2 dogs registered, please do not bring another.Dogs are required to stay on leash in all of the CNRA areas - - with penalties of $75 per animal if you are caught in violation of the law. As representatives of the AOC, we want all participants to obey the park rules.
