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. Many rocks along the stream that parallels the hiking trail add to the wonderful landscapes at Big Trees.

This nature trail is a perfect trail for beginning hikers and those who just want a moderate to leisurely hike. Saturday morning, the weather is expected to be in the 50s in the early morning with a 50% chance of rain later in the day.  Since this is a small trail, we will move at a moderate pace to complete our three-mile hike in an hour and beat the rain.

I look forward to hiking with everyone!  


Recommended Items to Bring:
