Itinerary:

Visited by travelers from all over the world, Stone Mountain is one of the best spots for sunset viewing in Atlanta. Sunset on June 4 is 8:44 p.m., so we will take our time to enjoy a leisurely hike. We will avoid the heavily used walk-up trail by taking a side trail through the woods to the summit.

We will meet at 7:50 near the restrooms by Confederate Hall for introductions and then head up the mountain. We will spend some time at the top taking in the view of the city skyline and watching the sunset.

The hike will involve some steep sections so please bring appropriate footwear. We will descend from the top of Stone Mountain after dark, so a small headlamp or LED flashlight is recommended.

There is a $15.00 entrance fee to park inside the park. You can purchase an annual pass for $40.00. Free parking is available at Stone Mountain Village. Give yourself extra time to walk down East Mountain Street to the West Entrance of the park.

Required Items to Bring:

Water or sports drink

Sturdy hike shoes with good tread

Small flashlight or head lamp

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