Itinerary:
This is our morning event for Day 2 of the 2X5 hikes, for those of you keeping track. Don't worry if you've missed the ones yesterday - - just hop onto any or all that you wish!  This is an excellent hike for beginners, as it is relatively flat and not too long, though our pace will be moderately fast. 

ALERT!! We are NOT meeting at the usual Visitors' Center! We'll meet at the LIMITED parking area off of Burnt Hickory. Hopefully the parking demand will be low at this hour of the day, but give yourself time in case you have to wait a few minutes for someone to leave. I'm also keeping the group on the small side because of the limited parking.

We will leave from the parking area and head towards Dallas Highway, taking the trails along the way. 

Dogs are welcome, though they are required by the park to be leashed at all times. Please pick up anything they leave behind with mutt mits that are free and in dispensers in all parking areas.

Recommended Items to Bring:

Water
Good hiking shoes 
Snack
Rain gear (just in case)
