Itinerary:

Trena and I continue to split our Monday morning group to accommodate more members eager to hike.  My hike will be starting at Sope Creek Elementary School.  We'll gather at the far left side of the parking lot, the area closest to the trailhead.

 I will be moving members above 10 registrants to the waiting list in the order of their registration times.  People will then be added to the active list as there are withdrawals.    

We'll hike for 2 hours, getting in around 4.5 miles.  Our route will depend somewhat upon our registrants;  if there are new folks who haven't seen the ruins, we'll hike there;  otherwise, we'll choose other routes.

If you bring your dog, it should be able to keep up with the group and interact well with other dogs and people. The Chattahoochee NRA requires that owners keep their dogs on a leash and clean up after their pets on the trails. Please be willing to keep your dog on leash out of consideration to other hikers, because it's the law and because the reputation of the AOC is damaged when members break the leash law.

Limit of 3 dogs, please!


Required Items to Bring:

Plenty of fluids

Sturdy hiking shoes/boots

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

Trail snacks

Hiking poles if you like to use them
