Itinerary:

The Vickery Creek section of the Chattahooche National Recreation Area contains many miles of interconnected hiking trails. Our plan is to hike four miles of these trails including visting the old dam on Big Creek.

Please remember to bring $3 for the National Park Service parking fee, unless you have a Chattahoochee NRA annual pass. You can also park accross the street and meet us in the Vickery Creek parking lot to save the three dollar fee.

Here is your chance to meet the high muckety-mucks and learn about the secret inner sanctum of the Atlanta Outdoor Club. We'll share the secret hand shake and provide you with the best tips on how to get into events.

This is a NEWCOMER hike. You are welcome to attend if you have done 5 or less events. If you have not - you will be placed on the waitlist and add if and only if the hike does not fill up.

We had some great suggestions, we'll open the registration on 10/10 - it will then close on 10/25, we'll take from the entire list - including the waitlist - the top 16 people with the fewest hikes. That's as fair as we can get.

Required Items to Bring:
Shoes you can hike in
Water bottle
Clothing appropriate for weather conditions
You should be OK without hiking boots on these trails

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Trail Snacks
Camera
Drink such as Gatorade
