Itinerary:

Roswell Greenway
These Greenways don't get enough credit. They are clean, very well maintained and actually very pretty. We'll do a mix boardwalks and paved pathways both through the woods (shady) and in some patches of sun. There is really no elevation change. We'll cover at least 4 miles but no more than 5. We will go out for 45 minutes and turn around and head back.

This is an excellent beginner/novice hike. Wear some sunscreen, you'll get your vitamin D.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

GA 400 to exit 7 (Holcomb Bridge Rd) and go East towards Norcross
Left at second traffic light onto Old Alabama Rd (Second traffic light). McDonalds is on your right)
Go about 1/3 mile and entrance to Roswell Greenway is on your left - you will turn in to a small gravel parking lot. There is a beige (I think) sign with green writing. Come through that parking lot (continuing away from Old Alabama Rd) and follow the gravel road over the hill. There will be a parking area and small restroom building on your right. We'll meet by the restroom building.
