Itinerary:

The Big Tree Forest Preserve is a nice 1.2- mile nature trail in the Sandy Springs community. The trail is a mulch and dirt trail with mild slopes. Many rocks along the stream that parallels the hiking trail add to the wonderful landscapes at Big Trees.

This nature trail is a perfect trail for beginning hikers and those who just want a moderate to leisurely hike.  Since this is a small trail, we will move at a moderate pace to complete our three-mile hike in an hour. 

I look forward to hiking with everyone!  

Special Invitation 

If you would like to join us to go eat, several of us will go eat afterwards.

This week it is our night to eat at Subway after hiking. They have an outdoor area for us to eat and are conveintly located close to a Hardees, Starbucks, Gyro place and some other stuff if you want to eat something else. (This is optional, but I hope that everyone wil want to go eat with us!)

I hope to see you at the hike and for dinner!
