Itinerary:

This will be a "first" for an AOC hike at Yellow River. Bikers have ridden the trail but hikers have yet to walk it. It's a beautifully maintained facility with separate parking areas for equestrians, bikers, and hikers. There's also a great children's playground and a picnic pavilion here. The trails are easy with views of the Yellow River along the way. Nothing strenuous, especially at the moderate pace we'll be taking. This is an excellent hike for beginners who want to hike but have not done too much yet. Experienced hikers are quite welcome as long as they're willing to keep the pace a little slower. The park isn't far from Stone Mountain.
