Itinerary:

Join us on Pi Day (3/14) for a hike and then some (pizza) pie. We'll meet at West Palisades (Paces Mill Entrance) and do about a five mile hike. This will be a moderately paced hike, not fast but certainly not slow. Afterwards, we'll shoot straight up Cobb Pkwy (41) and go have Pizza Pie at Blue Moon Pizza at the corner of Cobb Pkwy and Windy Hill. You're welcome to join us for Pie if you want.

This is not a beginner hike.

Please arrive a few minutes before the event is scheduled to begin. We will depart for the hike on time.

Please remember to bring $3 cash for the National Park Service parking fee, unless you have a Chattahoochee NRA annual pass.

Paces Mill entrance. There is a restroom at the trailhead.
