Itinerary:

It's that time of the year when the diamorpha grows on Arabia Mountain.

The forecast for the time of our hike (at the time of this posting) is for a cloudy and cool morning. With all the rain of the week, this creates puddles on top of the mountain, creating another stunning visual. (Let's hope the forecast stays that way.)

We'll be hiking approximately 5 miles starting from the nature/visitor center. (For clarity, it's located about 1500 feet south of the Klondike/Rockland roundabout). The address listed should also get you there - 3787 Klondike Rd, Stonecrest, GA 30038

The "mountain" is more of a hill, so not too steep. It's quite manageable - we'll take it slow. We'll get there via the concrete and boardwalk PATH. At the top, we'll take a break to enjoy the views. We'll also hike the wooded trail to go around Mountain Lake to give us our 5 miles.

Plan to arrive before the event time, to lace up and introduce yourself. We'll meet at the pavillion in front of the nature center with the trail info.
