Join us for a sunset hike ot the top of Stone Mountain and if weather permits we should get to see the Supermoon!!!

SUNSET IS AT: 8.52PM

We will be begin the hike at the confederate parking lot (near the restrooms) for an Easy to Moderate Hike to the top. We will spend some time at the top taking in the view and watching the sunset and viewing the supermoon.This hike is suitable for beginners and those who wish to enjoy the great views from the top of Stone Mountain.
