About the Event
We will meet at 6:45 am at 1625 Pleasant Hill Rd Ste 200, Duluth, GA 30096 with a 9:30 arrival at the trailhead.

It intersects with the Foothills Trail (orange blazes) at a narrow wooden bridge. The trail is narrow and very rooty in several areas, so one must watch their footing. After crossing the wooden bridge, the trail turns left and parallels a rushing creek on the left. We will climb over/under down trees and rocks to reach the 70-foot King Creek Falls. At the falls, there are rock outcrops and a shallow wading pool at its base.

*Moderate/Intermediate: Suitable for those in good physical…
