Itinerary:

Please join me for a hike at a Gwinnett County  - Yellow River Park.   We will hike  8  miles - time should be just about three hours - mileage or time may be over/under.

Yellow River Park is located off Juhan Road,  Stone Mountain, Georgia - it is just southeast of the Stone Mountain. The 566-acre park includes 12 miles of soft surface winding mountain bike, hiking and horse trails through the woods above the Yellow River.  The park is known for the many “unofficial” trails that intersect with “official” trails, resulting in numerous trail intersections and making intersection management more than a little confusing.  Many of the trails are multi-use - horses, bikes and hikers.  some minor elevation - called a D3 due to distance not speed or elevation.  We will be hiking at about 2.8 mph.
 
  We are meeting in the 1st parking lot on Juhan, the one with the large playground.
 
Please arrive early in order to use restrooms and meet your fellow hikers.
Hike will start promptly at 8:30
