Itinerary:

****Beginners welcome!****

We will begin the evening with a leisurely hike through the Jones Bridge branch of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. This is a popular spot for deer and we may even spot a heron or hawk. 

Afterwards, we'll gather for a viewing of the Ken Burns documentary, "The National Parks: America's Best Idea."

We will be roasting marshmallows between the hike and the movie, so don't forget to bring your own graham crackers and chocolate for some delicious s'mores.

****Although this is a free event, you'll either need to pay the $3 park fee or display an annual pass in your vehicle's windshield. ****
