Itinerary:

Enjoy the holiday lights on the shortest day of the year. We will meet at the South West Entrance to Piedmont Park and take a counterclockwise walk around the park. We will walk on paved paths, gravel trails and boardwalks. After making it all the way out to the bee hives and bat houses, we will swing by the botanical garden around sunset. We will not go into the garden but will take our time and enjoy the holiday light display before returning down the well-lit path to where we started.

Event Directions:

We will meet at the southwest entrance of Piedmont park, which is very close to the corner of 10th Street NE and Argonne Ave. See picture above. At the time of the hike there should be ample parking along 10th Street, or the park is only 4 blocks from the midtown MARTA station.
