Itinerary: | |||||||
Join us on a what will hopefully be a fine fall day along the banks of the Chattahoochee. The 5.8-mile West Palisades Trail follows the banks of the river and rises up into the bluffs as well. With the leaves in color the scenery should be gorgeous. We can take a small side trip down Rottenwood Creek to see the ruins of an old mill if there's interest in doing that. Remember to bring water and, if you want, trail snacks. The trail is mostly easy with some moderate uphill sections and some scrambling on rocks. We'll be meeting in the Paces Mill Parking Area at 10:00 and will be on the trail at 10:15. Please make sure to be there by 10:00. Also please remember to bring $3 for the National Park Service parking fee. | |||||||
