Itinerary:

 Time to start getting in quick afterwork power hikes at Sweetwater Creek.  We'll start promptly at 5:15 and hike until sunset at 6:30.  This time we'll focus on the White Trail and perhaps some of the Red depending on the time. 

***As we'll be hiking at a fast pace, this is not a hike for beginners***  

     We will start on time, so please arrive 5-10 minutes early to check in. They are repaving the area directly in front of the Visitor's center so we'll meet at the closest parking/pavillion area.

     Note: there is a $5 per vehicle parking fee if you do not already have a GA Parks State pass. No carpool for this event.
