Itinerary:

Back by popular demand! (Okay, so one guy asked me to repost this - he knows who he is.) Actually, I will get back to doing these on Wednesday, but I didn't want to interfere with the AOC Social this week. So many events, so few days in the week.

Anyway. this is my favorite "Roswell area" hike. The trails have a lot of ups and downs to give our legs and hearts a great work out. We will do the outer loop trails as well as a few of the inner trails in order to get in our total mileage of 6 miles. Most of the hike is along the water's edge and really beautiful.

The pace will be fast to moderate in the tricky places, so this is not a hike for beginners.

Please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions. Also, you have until 4:30 on the day of the hike to remove yourself if something comes up.Moderate

Just a reminder - there are no restrooms here! And don't forget your parking pass or $3 for parking.

WATER
Comfortable hiking shoes
Parking pass or $3 for parking fee
