Itinerary: | |||||||
Join me for 2 times up and down Stone Mountain (distance about 4.9 miles) then 1 time around on the Cherokee trail (distance about 5 miles) for a total distance of about 9-10 miles. Meet at 9:20 AM to sign in - the hike starts at 9:30 sharp. We'll be moving most of the time with brief water (bring at least 1 quarts; I'm bringing 2) / fruit / snack breaks. Be sure to bring both. The goal of this hike is to enjoy a good workout. Take a picture if you want...then catch up... So, this is not a beginners hike! You must have some experience hiking at a steady pace and be ready for a workout. Watch the weather! This event will be cancelled due to rain. Likewise, a "cancelled" notice for the event will appear on the AOC calendar. | |||||||

How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | Directions: To the main entrance- From I-285 take U.S. Hwy 78 East (Snellville/Athens) exit. Travel about 7 miles and take Exit 8, the Stone Mountain Park Main Entrance. After entering the main entrance, proceed straight ahead. The road will fork at about 1 mile – stay to the right. Continue to follow the road for another mile. Confederate Hall will be on your left. The parking lot will be immediately after. We’ll meet behind Confederate Hall near the walk up trail. If you would like to try the free public parking in Stone Mountain Village, from Hwy 78 take exit 5 and merge onto GA 10. Proceed 0.5 miles to the first exit. At the end of the ramp turn left. Drive a mile or so, past a gas station and a funeral parlor (both on your right). When you see City Hall turn left. There is a Marta park and ride on fourth street. From there it is a short walk on East Mountain Street. Enter the park through the gate and you'll be at the parking lot where we'll be meeting.
