Itinerary:
Welcome to the "Get in Shape" Hike.
Come join me in a late afternoon exercise hike in the Chattahoochee / Roswell area. The hike will start at the Vickery Creek Trailhead off of Roswell Mill Machine Shop at the Covered Bridge; we will start with an elevation gain of just over a hundred feet, level off a bit and enjoy a moderate hike with small hills. We will be hiking about 4 miles.
Vickery Creek contains several miles of trails that connect to a City of Roswell park. Will will take the outside loop.
This  hopefully will become a twice a week hike to get in shape. The hiking time is appox 57 min and we will work towards getting the time down to 45 min.
 
For an extra work out, bring a loaded pack to carry.

Required Items to Bring:
Water (hydration is key!)
Powerbar like food
Proper shoes with good tread.		Recommended Items to Bring:
