Planning Your Easy Hikes in Atlanta:
??? –> How long will the hike take? Is it for beginner hikers? What are the cool views I should look for? What obstacles can I expect while I’m walking the trail? I have a lot of questions before I go on a hike for the first time. Going on a new hike is a fun adventure! But… going unprepared can be dangerous if you don’t have the correct expectations or gear. Before going to anew park and hiking I like to check out All Trails or GA Trails so I’m prepared for the hike!
East Palisades and White Water Creek
4 MILES
My absolutely favorite place to meander around. You can kick your feet around in White Water Creek and play with the family dogs that everyone lets run free. Then if you’re up for a longer hike, travel to the Bamboo forest. Pretend you are exploring the tropics and enjoy the sunshine through the bamboo trees. 🌞
Sope Creek Park
1.5 MILES
You can hike the Sope Creek Trail to the ruins of a stacked-stone Civil War-era paper mill on the banks of a rocky creek. Then you can loop to a serene pond; a perfect place for a good read, fishing, and picturesque picnics.
Arabia Mountain
2-4 MILES (ROUND TRIP)
If you are look for an easy hike to a mountain top, Arabia Mountain in the place for you. The hike to the top take a few minutes and the rocky terrain is easily managed. Try hiking to the top to peer above the tree tops. Then search around the rocky mountain top for the hidden treasure of plants and flowers.
I love going on hikes solo to think and going with friends to reconnect. Spending some time outdoors is relaxing and just what I need to reboot for the week. 🌱🌱
