"Snake Eats Fish" photo courtesy of Linda Plemmons (camera) and Lynn Oelkers (snake hunter) Thanks Linda and Lynn! This is not a hike for a beginner. To qualify, you must have kept pace with a D2 group on a previous hike and be willing to keep pace with the group on this hike. Given the small roster size, a member with an event cancellation rate above 50% will be moved to the waitlist so that we improve our chances that all slots are filled at the time of the hike. Average speed: Fast end of
Moderate (3.0 mph on the last hike) Elevation gain: 610 feet (there will be two 240 foot climbs) One of the more challenging of the Chattahoochee River parks, the West Palisades trail system provides relaxing river-side trails along with several moderately steep inclines. The trails either stay around 800 feet in elevation along the river or around 1000 feet in elevation on the hilltop, so navigating this park requires several 200 foot climbs and descents.
