Itinerary:

"This event has DOE approval to expand participants to 25 members."

Dozens of visual works of art from local to international artists have transformed the Atlanta BeltLine into a linear gallery space. In addition to the more than 30 permanent Beltline exhibits we've enjoyed, over 70 new, dynamic art installations have been erected along the railroad corridor. These new installations are temporary and will be on display only until mid-December; so grab this chance to see the spectacular displays on a leisurely walk with fellow AOC members.

The Beltline hike is flat, so elevation change will not be a problem. The total distance of our walk will be about 8 miles. We'll be walking at a very comfortable pace and stopping frequently to appreciate all the exhibits we pass. Distance will be the only challenge for people who are new to hiking.

We'll gather behind the Publix supermarket (parking lot on the back right) off Monroe Avenue (see street address and coordinates below) and access the Beltline behind the supermarket, where we'll travel north past Piedmont Park. We'll check out the new Ponce City Market and then head to the Krog Street Market, which has a wide variety of great food offerings. We'll stop there for lunch, ice cream, pastry, or just a drink, and then, we'll head back, taking a different route through Piedmont Park, where we'll see sights like the educational garden and the dog park.

Bring your camera or plan to use your cell phone for the many photo opportunities you'll have.

Required Items to Bring:

Comfortable walking shoes/socks

(Most of the walk is on a cement trail; part of it is on a a gravel path)

Water

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Sunscreen and a sun-hat  (we'll have a good deal of open-exposure for most of the hike)
Sunglasses
Money for lunch at Krog Street Market
Camera/cell phone camera
