Itinerary:
Join us for an easy evening's hike around the Chattahoochee River.  We have multiple paths to choose from, some skirt the river and some climb just a bit of altitude to make your calf muscles wake up after a long day of sitting at your desk.  Nothing too strenous, but good hiking boots would definately be preferred on this journey.
Bring water and a smile, let's get out and see if we might spot some blooming wildflowers!
Beginner hikers welcome!
We'll meet at the first parking section on your left (thank you Jimmy! (smile) as you enter the park - see you then!

UPDATE:  Since we have enough co-leaders, we'll probably split into two separate groups.  There are a variety of trails to take, but it's not likely we'll lose anyone!

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
