Itinerary:

The hike is about 11 miles round trip at a moderate pace. We will start at the top of the falls at the trailhead. Please plan on bringing a small lunch/snack. We will stop at the Hike Inn for our lunch break. The Inn will often have some bread, dessert or fruit left over from dinner the night before that you can take in exchange for tips for the Inn employees, but this is not guaranteed. There are generally beverages as well including lemonade and iced tea. It is possible to see the Atlanta skyline from one of the vistas on the hike during the fall if it is clear.
