Itinerary:

Join me in heartily welcoming Bill S. as a new potential trip leader for the AOC! He will be joining me as co-lead for this hike. Bill is not new to the AOC ~ he joined in 2009 and has done over 114 hiking/biking events. Bill is a welcomed addition to "The Dark Side," as his plans are to offer more D4 hikes to members . . . more challenging than the standard D3's, but not as demanding as the rigorous D5's.

This is not a hike for beginners. Bill will be determining the route and the pace, so if we get lost on this one, it's not entirely my fault! Please be sure you can manage a moderately fast pace over some rocky, root-laden trails, elevation-changing trails. We plan to be finished before sun-down, but just in case, please bring along a head lamp or a flashlight.

We are requesting No Dogs on this hike, just to keep things uncomplicated for Bill's co-lead event.

We will start on time (6 pm)! Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to check in and do intros. There is a bathroom at this location, so allow an extra 5 minutes to use the facility before we start.

We are meeting at the Roswell Mill entrance to the Vickery Creek trailhead, just off S. Atlanta Road in Roswell. There is no parking fee at this location. Detailed directions are below.

Required Items to Bring:

Fluids, good hiking shoes/boots, and a light jacket

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

Hiking poles if you like to use them. (Remember, there are elevation changes, roots and rocks a'plenty!

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 Roswell Mill Center. Just keep driving down the road till you get to the big parking lot at the very bottom of the long hill.

Roswell Mill trailhead 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. (you read it right) and you take a right on to Mill St which will dead end at the parking lot.
