Itinerary: |
We will meet at the East Palisades area parking lot off of Whitewater Creek Road. There is a $3 parking fee per vehicle.
We will begin promptly at 11:30 AM.
**THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER HIKE!** Beginners are welcome, but please make sure you are able to keep up with the group.
We will hike along the various trails at a good pace as we take in the sights and sounds of nature along the Chattahoochee. We plan to keep a fast pace. You will definitely sweat! Parts of the trail may be slightly steep with protruding roots so wear sturdy footwear.
We will pause briefly at a scenic overlook to take in the view and take photos as well as stop for a snack and rehydration break along the cliffs.
After spending some time enjoying the great views, we'll make our way back towards the parking lot.
Forecast: mostly sunny, 41 - 48 degrees, light breeze at 8mph. |
