| Itinerary: | |||||||
Yellow River Park is a highly vegetated area located off Juhan Road in the city of Stone Mountain, GA - just southeast of the granite dome of Stone Mountain. The 566-acre park includes a 12-mile (19 km) trail (we'll be doing only 4 to 5) that can be used for walking, hiking, and horse riding. The park has pavilions, grills, and a large playground, as well as a wooden overlook that provides a view of the Yellow River. This is a great hike for enjoying the outside without the commitment of an entire day driving to a destination and back. The trails are well maintained, there are nice restroom facilities, and the park itself is really pretty. We'll go at a moderate pace; as Goldilocks would say, not too fast and not too slow. We will finish just as the sun sets. It's a good hike for beginners who can handle the distance, as it is without too much elevation change. Experienced hikers are welcome as long as you are not frustrated by the moderate pace. Be advised that leash laws are strictly enforced if you bring your dog. | |||||||
