The interaction between Ranger Robby and Jonah MacDonald made the sunset hike/talk educational and inspiring. Those two friends each have so much passion and love for the trails and for sharing their passion with the public.  

Our AOC group of 22 comprised about half of the folks on the hike, so Robby and Jonah had a sizeable audience for the evening. We hiked across the quarry area and around the lake before climbing to the top of the mountain to settle in for the sunset. The sky was cloudless, resulting in a rather undramatic sunset. That, added to the brisk, cool wind, encouraged a brisk descent back to the Visitor Center quickly after the sun sank below the horizon.

Quite a few folks bought a copy of Jonah's book, Hiking Atlanta's Hidden Forests , after the hike - - a testimony to the impact the evening had on the participants. ~ Joyce
