Itinerary:

This will be a moderately paced approximately 6 mile, rain or shine hike. Our speed will be around 2.6 to 2.9 mph. The weather is going to be cool, so we'll keep a steady pace to avoid cooling down.

We will cover most of the trails inside the unit and since there are quite a few undulations it may not be the best hike for a beginner. We will stop for fewer breaks and sometimes to regroup.

Let's meet at the Covered Bridge Entrance, what we also know as the Roswell Mill Entrance of Vickery Creek Unit. There is no parking fee here. Restrooms are present; please allow a few minutes extra in case you'd like to use them before we start. We will begin on time so please arrive a few minutes early.

If you have any questions feel free to email/call me. :)

Required Items to Bring:

Appropriate clothing for the weather

Good hiking shoes

Recommended Items to Bring:

Event Directions:

Approx Physical Address - 1 Mill St, Roswell, GA 30075.

GPS Co-ordinates - 34.0138888888889,-84.3594305555555

We are meeting behind the shops at the Roswell Mill Center where the parking is free. It is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect. Keep driving down the road until you get to the big parking lot at the very bottom of the hill.

I recommend using www.maps.google.com to find directions from your point of origin.
