Itinerary:

We're racing the sun here. We will move at a fast pace with very few stops along the way. We plan on getting about four and a half miles in and completing the hike in 1.5 hours.

This is not a beginner hike.

You should bring a flashlight as it will be getting dark by the time we finish.

We will start on time so please plan on arriving a few minutes early to check in and do intros. If everyone is there a few minutes early, we will depart a few minutes early.

We are meeting at the Roswell Mill entrance to the Vickery Creek trailhead and parking is free. Detailed directions are below.

water, gatorade or whatever you like to keep hydrated (important)

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

 

There are a lot of ways to get to the Roswell Mill. It's at 120 and S. Atlanta Road in Roswell. Use either the physical address below or the lat/lon coordinates to get your own directions. We are meeting behind all of the shops at the Mill. Just keep going towards the water.

We are meeting at the trailhead behind the shops of Roswell Mill. It is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect. There's a popular restaurant called Chaplin's in that shopping center. When you turn in to the shopping center (from either direction) you will be on Mill St. - Mill St dead ends in to Mill St. (thank you Roswell) and you take a right on to Mill St which will dead end in to the parking lot.
