Itinerary:

This hike is great for new members but is open to all. It is at the Jones Bridge unit of the Chattahoochee NRA..certainly some of the finest parks in the Atlanta Metro area. Much of our walk will provide some scenic views of the Chattahoochee...and a good bit of it will be in the nearby woods.

There is very little elevation change along the trail...only about 500 feet of total ascent for the entire hike. Our pace will be moderate and we'll stop for a beak or two along the way. Total distance should end up being about 5-6 miles. So even though it is a D2 (easy) hike, it will be long enough to provide a moderate workout.

Three dollar parking fee or Chattahoochee NRA annual parking pass required.
