Itinerary:

This will be a moderately paced approximately 6 mile, rain or shine hike. Our speed will be around 2.5 mph.

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.

We'll meet at the 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.

How to Get There:
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.
