Itinerary:

Looking for a local afterwork hike?  Join us at 5:30 PM on this section of Chattahoochee NRA. 

The Vickery Creek section of the Chattahooche National Recreation Area contains many miles of interconnected hiking trails. Our plan is to hike four to five miles miles of these trails including visting the old dam on Big Creek.

This will be a fast paced hike.  Fast walking, not trail running (unless you have to, to keep up with Ralph).  The pace is between 3.3 and 4.0 mph.

We will start promptly at 5:30PM.
