Itinerary:

We will get to be at two overlooks, and around a lake, about 11 miles, and 2800ft elevation gain at Black Rock State Park, the highest altitude park in Georgia.

We will start at Tennessee Rock Trail, to Black Rock Mountain. Depending on the weather, you MIGHT be able to actually see Tennessee from the overlook.

Then we will go on Edmonds Trail Loop counterclockwise direction.

We will get on Edmonds Trail East Fork all the way to Lookout Mountain for another overlook.

We will get back on Edmonds Trail West Fork, stop at the lake for lunch, stretch our legs around the lake before we start the last climb back to our cars.

Optional: take Springhouse Trail to Ada-High Falls.
