Salty Wednesday at Vickery Creek

Salt. Another hike inspired by some cool, local and funky non-chain restaurants. We hike and then we eat. Or you hike and then you go home. The choice is yours whether you join us for dinner or not. The hike won't be an easy one so be prepared to work up a sweat. We're moving on the faster side of a moderate pace and plan on covering between 5 and 5.5 miles in about an hour and 45 minutes with limited breaks. Afterwards we're going to have dinner at Salt Factory on the Roswell Square. It's a neat restaurant with an interesting menu featuring salads, soups, burgers, pizzas or you can go all out and feast on one of their Specialties in the $16 - $20 range. Salt Factory is a straight shot up Highway 9 and total travel time is less than five minutes. There is also complimentary valet parking at Salt.

Now you probably want to hear a little bit about the hike: If there hasn't been recent rain we will cross the cliffs.  There are a couple of spots where the poison ivy is growing close to the trails. If you are particularly suseptible to it then you may want to wear pants. If it is bad then we will turn around and avoid it. You never know out at Vickery Creek - sometimes they trim it and sometimes they don't.

Please remember - this is not a beginner hike.

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.

No one wants to hike in the rain and then go eat. If the weather is looking bad and rain chances are high then we'll reschedule for the next night (6/19).

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

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.
