Itinerary:

The Big Tree Forest Preserve is a nice 1.2-mile nature trail in the Sandy Springs community. The trail is a mulch and dirt trail with mild slopes. The many rocks along the stream that parallel the hiking trail add to the wonderful landscapes at Big Trees.

Big Tree Forest Preserve nature trail is a perfect for beginning hikers and those who just want a leisurely hike. We will want start our 3-mile hike promptly at 8:00 am, so that we will complete our hike by 9:30. Since this is a small trail, we will move at a moderate pace and loop the trail a couple of times to complete our three-mile hike on Saturday morning. I look forward to hiking with everyone!
