Itinerary:
If you are a new member to the AOC and have attended 3 events or less, or if you are a beginner/novice hiker then please join us on this hike.  

Combined, the Rottonwood Creek and Bob Callan trail is a 3.6 mile out and back trail that starts at the Chattahoochee NRA West Palisades parking lot, follows the river for about a half mile, then continues along Rottenwood Creek.  The entire trail is cemented and includes some minor elevation gain, making it great for beginners and/or new members getting out the first time.  We will keep a fairly slow pace of 2 - 2.5 mph and a go-at-your-own-pace when climbing the hill, regrouping at the top.

Anyone signing up who has attended 4 events or more, or where you registered yourself as intermediate or advanced on a previous hiking event will be moved to the waiting list.  Those on the waiting list that fit the new member/beginner category as described above will be put ahead of others that do not should spaces become available.

Bring your dog along for the hike. Please remember to bring $3 for the National Park Service parking fee, unless you have a Chattahoochee NRA annual pass.
