Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

East Palisades is one of the most beautiful of all the Chattahoochee Parks. It has several beautiful trails. We will cover most of the trails in the park and get to the overlook. The view from there will be quite beautiful. Then we will take the trail that leads us to the much talked-about Bamboo forest. 

The pace of the hike will be moderate. Since part of the trails are new to me there might be stops at trail heads to figure out which route to take, so if this wont be a continuously moving hike. 

There is a 3$ parking fee unless you have an annual pass. 

Email the trip leader if you have any questions.
