Itinerary:

Do you like half cream and half milk for your coffee, or half a sandwich and half a soup for lunch? Then you are going to LOVE a HALF TRAIL HIKE AND HALF URBAN HIKE. So here we gooooo... this first day of 2016

HALF TRAIL HIKE - We will begin by hiking the Roswell Mill Park and part of the Vickery Creek

HALF URBAN HIKE - Then we will proceed towards the urban part of our hike. We will roam Historic Roswell and pass by the Smith Plantation House, Old cemetary, Bulloch Hall and Barrington Hall. There are several plaques along the way detailing information about these age-old structures. 

We would like everyone to stay together as a group especially while crossing at intersections. We will be walking on gravel paths and side walks with quite a few hills. This hike will cover approximately 5 miles. You will need to complete the entire hike to receive credit for it not just half of it. 

We will meet at the parking lot of Roswell Mill. Please read directions below. There are restrooms available here. We will start on time so please arrive a few minutes early.
