Itinerary: | |||||||
Finish the day with a fast hike around the various trails of Sope Creek. This event will be a bit different than most as our goal is to finish before it gets dark. To accomplish this we will likely need to go a bit faster than the target pace of 3.5 mph. If we are moving well the group will finish in 80-85 minutes. The posted time of 90 minutes is to give some wiggle room. That is to
say depending on how the group is moving we
may or may not finish in the dark from week to
week. You should plan to have a light of some
kind with you in case we finish in the dark.
Additionally the start time will change from
week to week based on the current sunset time.
Parking is $5 if you
do not already have a pass(Chattahoochee or
America the Beautiful). Info can be found here
https://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisi
t/fees.htm . They no longer take cash and
you will need internet on your phone to pay.
Additionally if it is raining don't
bother calling to see if it is still on. The
answer is yes it is. Finally we will be
leaving on time and you should be there a few
minutes early. If you are late we will not be
waiting and the nature of the event makes it
very difficult for you to catch up or find us.
