Come and join me for a leisurely to moderately paced hike around the base of Stone Mountain and an optional visit to the "Lasershow Spectacular in Mountainvision"

We will meet at the Stone Mountain Ticket Kiosk which is at the parking area off Hugh Howell Rd. That’s where we begin and finish our hike.  Our hike starts at 6:00 pm … please be there a couple of minutes early.  We will be following the Cherokee Trail clock-wise and should be back at the Stone Mountain Ticket Kiosk at around 9:00pm. If you like, you can join us for the 45 minutes  "Lasershow Spectacular in Mountainvision", starting at approximately 9:30pm. The Lasershow is free with your $10.00 vehicle fee to enter the Park.
