East Plisades 10AM Hike 5/30 Sat Buckhead/Sandy Springs

Welcome Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Vinings, Smyrna, Cumberland and all LGBTQ hikers, Join us for another Northsiders hike at East Palisades Park on the Chattahoochee River, which is part of the
Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. This is a beautiful trail and a wonder to behold such a natural space preserved inside Atlanta's perimeter.

We will do about a 3.5-4 mile hike to the parks fabled bamboo forest. There is lots of scenery on this moderate difficulty trail. There are roots and rocks to step over and some lite grade hills with about a quarter mile incline that guarrantees a good ten minutes of cardio. However, we will stay along the river for most of the hike. So, it is relatively flat.
We will meet in the Whitewater Creek Rd entrance lot at 10AM.
I will be there wearing my red shirt to help you find the meet up.

We will stay near the river. So, it is a great way to beat the heat :) Still the hike is as you will at your own pace. Sunscreen and water are always a good idea.
There is a five dollar fee for parking, which can be used for entrance to any of the national park locations in the same day. And if you are an annual member of the National Parks, then you are already covered. Note, there are no restrooms available, so good to take a break on the way to the park. For those driving I-75 the GA 41 exit will put you only a few minutes from the park entrance.

I plan to stop for lunch after. For anyone interested in joining, we can plan on the day for a place to go.
Looking forward to meeting up :)
