About
This is not a hike for a beginner. To qualify, you must have recently (last 2 weeks) kept pace with a D2 group on a previous hike with 600 feet of elevation gain and 3.0mph pace and be willing to keep pace with the group on this hike. If you are on the wait list, it is because you did not meet the written qualification or because the hike is full. Elevation gain: up to 1070 feet (there will be up to six 115 to 190 foot climbs) Avg. Moving Speed: 3.0mph Trail Condition: slippery and hazardous in places with the usual experiences of leaves over nuts, rocks, and roots, plus extra sticks, blowdowns, mud patches, and awkward slopes. East Palisades is a unique hike in a densely forested park that rises to 400 feet above the Chatt ahoochee River. It offers some of the most scenic views of the river south of Lake Lanier. This hike will encompass the 48 acre park and include many of the Creeks and tributaries. The loop hike will include the Poppi's Point Overlook deck as well as the Bamboo Forest.
