Itinerary:

We will meet near the bathrooms at Paces Mill Park.  Please arrive about 15 minutes early.  We will do introductions and then walk along the paved path that connects to the Bob Calllan trail and follows the Rottenwood Creek.  There are some rolling hills but nothing too strenuous. This path is like a secret world with beautiful views under the expressway in the city.  We will walk at a moderate pace for 2.5 miles and then turn around and come back. 

CRNRA pass on your car is required.  One day fee is $5.Or you can buy an annual pass for $40.  If you do not have a pass, you can purchase one online at nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/fees.htm

You can also buy a pass using a QR code sign in the parking lot.
