Itinerary: | |||||||
7S7W = 7 Sunrises in 7 Weeks! SUNRISE: 06:42 AM Calling all Early Birds! This "7 sunrises over 7 weeks" series of hikes around ATL has a three-fold purpose: 1. Beat the summer heat, 2. Catch a spectacular sunrise, and 3. Get your daily workout in before breakfast. So, what's not to like? Series #1 - Stone Mountain: We'll start bright and early at the Whistle Stop station (near the restrooms), hike to the summit in time for the sunrise, ooh and aah as the glowing orb appears over the horizon (fingers crossed for only high level clouds), hike down the southwestern face of the rock via the Cherokee trail to circle the lake, and return once again via the Cherokee Trail to the parking lot. Ta daa! DISCLAIMER: This is a brisk, moderately strenuous hike with 1000+ foot elevation gain and a substantial amount of rock scrambling. So, if you have mobility issues, are recovering from injury, or prefer a slower pace, please sit this one out! | |||||||
