Itinerary: | |||||||
*With the temps being in the 90s the hike will intentionally be a bit slower than usual but still fast. We will keep it more in the 3.25-3.5 mph range as opposed to the standard 3.5 -4mph. Due to this we will be starting things a bit earlier. 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. | |||||||
