Itinerary:

We will be meeting at the first parking lot on the left almost immediately after turning in.  The hike will begin on the lollypop loop and then finish up in the main portion of the park. With all of the recent rain I expect that the trails will be muddy and slick in places.

We will go a bit over 3 mph which is faster than moderate but not extremely fast.

 

Parking is $5 if you do not already have a pass(Chattahoochee or America the Beautiful). Info can be found here https ://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/fees.htm . They no longer take cash and you will need internet on your phone to pay.
