Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

The Big Tree Forest Preserve is a great 1.2 mile trail in Sandy Springs. The trail is a mulch and dirt trail with mild slopes, lots of rocks along the stream that parallels the hiking trail.

This is a perfect trail for beginning hikers and those who just want a leisurely hike. Sunday the weather is expected to be mild with a slight chance of rain (30%), so we will want to begin our 3 mile hike promtly at 9:30 am. Since this is a small trail, we will move at a moderate pace and loop the trail a couple of times to complete our three mile hike in 1.5 hours. I look forward to hiking with everyone!


Required Items to Bring:

Hiking shoes or athletic shoes and water. 

Recommended Items to Bring:
