Itinerary: |
We will be hiking the main trail going to the top of Stone Mountain from the Confederate Hall parking lot and back. Up and back is about two miles.
This is a casual and social hike up the mountain, so you can choose your own pace. At the top of the mountain, we will hang out for a few minutes, socialize, take a picture or two, and enjoy the scenic view from the top as we watch the sun rise.
A Friday sunrise hike!
Thanks Tom J. for letting me post this!
