Itinerary:

Finish off your Thanksgiving weekend with an Urban Hike in downtown Atlanta. Chad scoped this one out and it's going to be awesome. It's about 4.5 miles and we'll pass The Fox, Hard Rock Cafe, The Varsity, The Aquarium, The World Of Coca Cola, the Capitol, Phillips Arena and lots of other cool spots around Atlanta. We'll start right by The Landmark Diner. If you're interested - join us for dinner or a quick snack there after the hike - a link for their menu is at the bottom.

We're meeting in front of The Rialto. Please be there at 3:45 to check in and for introductions. We will leave at 4:00 sharp - whether you're there or not!

We will be crossing streets so we'll keep the group fairly close together. Please wear light colored clothing and/or clothing with reflective material if you have it. Also bring a small flashlight because we will be out after dark. 

Go to www.maps.google.com and copy the bold print coordinates in to the search bar. You can chose 'satellite view' to see the birds eye view. Please familiarize yourself with the parking lot and where to meet beforehand. 

Parking lot coordinates. There is a public parking lot on Luckie St. Please strongly consider parking here so we can walk you back to your car (it will be after dark when we are finished). The fee is $5. Not $5 for us to walk you back to your car - it's $5 to park there.   :)
