Itinerary:



It's supposed to be a beautiful day Saturday with highs in the low 80"s, which will be perfect for a hike up Stone Mountain and eat a picnic dinner!  Up at the top it will be about 10 degree's cooler and a warm breeze normally. 

So the plan is to meet at the bottom of the trail around 5pm.  Please bring your dinner.. sandwichs or maybe a small stove and some food.  Whatever you want to bring!  Be creative or boring... maybe something to share as well.  Remember this is a park so alcohol is not allowed and it is up to you how you want to handle that.  It is about 30-40 minute to hike up to the top.  Once on top we can then cook, eat, goof off or whatever. The laser show starts and 8:30 and the fireworks are awesome (but short) if you want to stay that late.  Leave whenever you like.  



Total distance for this hike will be about 2.5 miles, with an elevation gain of 700 feet. 
So please join us for a casual lazy hike followed by some good food (depending on what you bring) and good people.


Required Items to Bring:

Dinner (or at least a snack because you will be hungry watching everyone else)
water, headlamp or flashlight, hiking shoes or boots with excellent traction
