Itinerary:

Midweek hike to Stone Mountain's summit to catch the sunset for the Spring Equinox.

We will start out at the Confederate Hall restrooms and plan on reaching the summit in time for sunset. This will be a moderate pace, and everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace.

We will take our time at the top to regroup and hopefully get to see the views of Downtown Atlanta and North Georgia mountains.

We will head down as the sun is going down, so bring a flashlight!

THE HIKE WILL START FROM THE CONFEDERATE HALL PARKING LOT NEAR THE BATHROOMS AT 6:30 PM.

Entrance to Stone Mountain is $10 per vehicle per visit or $35 for an annual pass.

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking Boots/Shoes

Rain Gear

Flashlight

Water/Sports Drink

Recommended Items to Bring:

Event Directions:

Directions To Confederate Hall Parking Lot:

From I-285 take U.S. Hwy 78 East (Snellville/Athens) exit.

Travel about 7 miles and take Exit 8, the Stone Mountain Park Main Entrance.

After entering the main entrance, proceed straight ahead. The road will fork at about 1 mile - stay to the right.

Continue to follow the road for another mile. Confederate Hall will be on your left.

The parking lot will be immediately after.

We will meet in front of the restrooms just before the walk-up trail.
