Itinerary:


*D1-Six-Pack-Hikes* (Monday, 4/2 through Saturday, 4/7) are very suitable for Newbies and Beginners. Join one, join two, or join all six hikes. That's why they are called "Six-Pack" hikes.

We are going to hike approximately three to four miles at a moderate pace. Not difficult. However, we'll get our heart rates up and we may even sweat a bit. All six hikes will be at different places in and around Atlanta.

Please join me on the walking trails of an incredibly gorgeous 30-acre Tree, Plant and Wildlife Sanctuary in Sandy Springs.

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