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 the group's night to pick where to eat: Subway, Alfonzos, El Azteca, Sandy Springs Diner or other. (This is optional, but I hope that everyone will want to go eat with us!)

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

Recommended Items to Bring:
