Itinerary:



It's supposed to be a beautiful day Friday with highs in the mid-fifties, which will be perfect for a hike up Stone Mountain to view the sunset!  

We will meet at the Park & Ride off 4th Ave in Stone Mountain Village. Parking is free. From there it is a less than half mile walk on East Mountain Street into the Park (free for pedestrians), where we will end up right at the start of the walk-up trail. Alternately, if you have a yearly pass and would rather park in the Stone Mountain lot inside the park, please put a comment in the note field as you register and we will meet you at the trail head around 5:10pm.

Total distance for this hike will be about 2.5 miles, with an elevation gain of 700 feet. It should take no more than about 30 min to reach the summit, so we should have a few minutes to explore a bit and enjoy the views before the official sunset at 6:03pm. Everyone can descend whenever they like, we just ask that you please notify one of the Trip Leaders if you leave before the group.

Hope to see you there!

water, headlamp or flashlight, hiking shoes or boots with excellent traction
