5.1 + miles
361 + foot elevation gain

no roots, no rocks, no mud, no stairs, no water crossings
Partly sunny forecast for 6pm with 25% rain chance
Although I have extended the hike, we will have new pavement each step of the way -- no retracing.
The park is the largest park acreage for the City of Atlanta and is dominated by 18- hole North Fulton golf course which will provide multiple long fairway views as we hike the golf course perimeter.
Dogs are welcome.
Meeting place
We will meet at the "storm shelter"(a small covered bus stop-like area) at the north end of the Red Parking lot. This location is next to the Amphitheater and in front of the covered horse practice facility so it should be easy for everyone to locate. There is no restroom in the Red lot but there will be a restroom stop 0.5 miles into the hike and a portolet 2/3 through the hike. | |||||||
| |||||||
How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | We will meet in the RED parking lot at the corner of Elliott Galloway Way & Powers Ferry Rd NW. The above photo shows the sign at this parking lot entrance.
