We Hike to Heal Middle Georgia - Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge
Details
We'll be hiking the Red Cockaded Woodpecker trail at Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, a 3 mile trail just 25 miles north of Macon and 85 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta. This is an easy to moderate hike with opportunities to see birds and other wildlife. We welcome all fitness levels to join us; the goal is to enjoy the journey, we are never in a race!
Once we reach about halfway, we'll plan to take a break to catch our breath, enjoy the view and do a little gratitude journaling!
