3) Turn left onto Cumberland Pkwy SE (.1 miles past Peach Ln SE)

4) Cumberland Pkwy SE becomes E West Connector SE

6) 60 Fontaine Rd SW is on the right (if you reach Nickajack Rd Se you've gone a little too far).

Notes:

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:

1) The hike will start as close to on time as possible, so please plan on meeting prior to the start time to sign in.

2) Allow 5 - 10 minutes to walk from the new parking lot to the visitors center in the event that the main parking lot is full.

3) Account for potentially bad traffic.  This bites people every time and makes them late.

4) No need to call if it rains.  This hike will proceed in the pouring rain and will only ever be cancelled due to weather at hike time.  I haven't cancelled an outdoor event due to weather since 1978.


* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.

Cost Includes:

No cost.


Cancellation/Partial Attendance:   Please review the AOC cancellation policy.
*Note:

This is a rain or shine hike - we will hike regardless of the weather - except for thunder, tornadoes or earthquakes.  No need to call or text me to see if it will be canceled.  It won't be canceled due to weather for the most part.  I like to hike in the rain but it seldom rains on my hikes.
