Itinerary:

Sunday Morning hike to Stone Mountain's summit to catch the sunrise.  

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

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

We will head down after the sunrise and there should be great opportunites for pictures and time for meditaion, if wanted!

We will be starting in the dark so you might need a flashlight or headlamp for the first section through the woods.

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

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