Itinerary: | |||||||
Join us for a brisk hike at the Island Ford branch of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. This is one of the prettiest of the CNRA parks and my personal favorite. We'll meet and begin our hike in front of the Park Headquarters, continuing along the river where we will then branch off to hike up onto the ridge. We'll then head over and across to the "new" trail section, where we will stop for a short break to get to know each other and take some photos. Then back down to the main river trail for a rest on the rocks before returning to our cars. Estimated distance for this hike is about 5.5 miles, with very little of it on level ground along the river. We will be going at a fairly brisk pace, probably averaging 3 - 3.5 MPH, so please be prepared! | |||||||
