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.

Come join me on the trails at the Gold Branch Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. There are three trails designated red, blue, and yellow. We will walk a loop covering most of these trails. The western part of this loop goes through rolling pine forest. The eastern part goes along the bank of Bull Sluice Lake, formed by the Chattahoochee River behind Morgan Falls Dam.

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