Itinerary:

Let Freedom Ring From Stone Mountain of Georgia!  In his most famous speech, Dr. King mentions some great outdoor locations.  One of which is in our backyard, Stone Mountain.  Join me as we hike Stone Mountain, Up, Down and Around as a way to honor Dr. King.  

We'll meet at the restrooms at the base of the walk-up trail.  From there, we will make our way up to the top of the mountain.  After a few minutes to enjoy our accomplishment, we will descend.  On our way down, we will take the Cherokee trail around the mountain going counter clockwise.  We will also take a break at the old mill.
