Itinerary:

This is a fitness hike with a fast pace.   We run and walk during this hike.

Leita Thompson Memorial Park is located in Roswell, GA and has a great trail that winds through the woods. It's made of soft, small gravel and plenty wide to walk side by side. It's very wooded and clean and has a few nice little hills. We will walk around a small lake and then up the hill to Leita's house for a brief stop outside.  

A little more information on the park:
