Itinerary:
This will be a fairly light D2 hike...but still 5-6 miles. Pace will be very moderate. It is at the Jones Bridge unit of the Chattahoochee NRA..certainly some of the finest parks in the Atlanta Metro area. Much of our hike will provide some scenic views of the Chattahoocee River...and a good bit of it will be in the nearby woods. We will certainly view some aquatic wildlife, and we usually see some deer farther back on the trail.

There is very little elevation change along the route...only about 400 feet of total ascent for the entire hike.
