Itinerary:

We will be hiking the main trail going to the top of Stone Mountain from the Confederate Hall parking lot and back. Up and back is about two miles.

This is the first "fall back" time and sunset is at 5:37 this day so we will have time to get up and watch!

This is a casual and social hike up the mountain, so you can choose your own pace. At the top of the mountain, we will hang out for a few minutes, socialize, take a picture or two, and enjoy the scenic view from the top as we watch the sunset. What better way to end a weekend...a bit of exercise, chat, and chance to be with AOC friends!

Additional Notes:

1. Itinerary is subject to change before and during event.

2. Restrooms are available.

3. Free parking is available at MARTA PARK n RIDE parking lot. It is less than a half mile walk to the park and the entrance is near our meeting area. Please take the time to look at the park map and parking options in order to be on time!
