Itinerary:

Hmm ... "Home for Lunch" hikes" Why? All hikes start at 9:00am on Saturdays or Sundays and will last 2 - 2 1/2 hours. So, you'll be home for lunch. The "Home for Lunch" hikes are very suitable for Newbies and Beginners. Why? We are not planning to set new speed records. If we hike 5 miles or so, that's fine too. All hikes will be at different places in the Metro Atlanta area. Why? We want you to spend your time hiking and not driving. This is a rain or shine hike (except under extreme thunder storm warning). Why? Just because :) Did you count ‘em? Now you know where the name "Four WHY" hikes came from.

Please join me at "Roswell's Big Creek Park" where we begin and finish an approximately 5 miles hike on the Greenway. Most of our hike will be on paved surface with some wooden broad walks in between ... at the wetland area. We'll be walking along the Big Creek to Haynes Bridge and then return.

If you have any questions e-mail the Event Coordinator.
