Itinerary: |
Join me for a great afternoon of hiking along the West Palisades. Although we begin hiking along a concrete path, we soon switch to dirt path as we enter the woods. I plan to keep a moderate pace to keep the heart rate up. There are some elevation changes as well.
This section of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area is quite scenic. There is a lot of wildlife throughout the park. You may spot a blue heron quietly standing along the riverbank, or a red tail hawk soaring high above.
The National Park Service has also been spotted here performing a trout release as they help replenish the native fish population. Hopefully we will also enjoy many flowers in bloom. If so, there should also be butterflies about!
You're welcome to bring your well-behaved canine friend. Leash and clean up laws are enforced. Please be respectful of your fellow hikers. |
