Itinerary:

Because of a glitch in the registration process, we've run into the problem of having too many members added to the active list above the maximum limit of 20.  Please be aware that we will be moving members above 20 registrants to the waiting list in the order of their registration times.  People will then be added to the active list as we have withdrawals.   

We'll begin our hike on the 2-mile loop at Powers Island.  This loop affords one good hill, but is otherwise not difficult.  We'll then cross the little bridge to Powers Island and hike on the island trails for a scenic jaunt.  Following these trails, we'll cross the bridge over the Chattahoochee to Cochran Shoals, where we'll enter the Interstate North section of trails for another 1.5 to 2 miles of hiking.  There are some good hills here, so we'll get a nice workout. When our time is up, we'll cross back over the Chattahoochee to the Powers Island parking lot.


Required Items to Bring:

 

$5 for parking (cash) unless you have an annual pass.

Plenty of fluids
