We can run down Robert E. Lee southeast and connect to The Cherokee Trail at The Nature Garden Trail. The Cherokee Trail at Stone Mountain circles the base of the mountain and winds through the forest and over the granite slab. The ground is covered with pine needles, bark, gravel, granite slab, sand, and dirt. You name it, you get it all here! You will cross over streams and logs, bridges, the rail road, and depending on which path you take to or from The Cherokee Trail, you may cross over the lakes. The Cherokee Trail is five miles long. We are to meet at Stone Mountain's Confederate Mansion at 4:00 p.m. I believe it is number 3 on the map of Stone Mountain. See the links below which also contain other course maps we may be running. There are some general driving directions below as well.

From the base of the Confederate Mansion, you can walk, hike, and run (if you dare) up the long side of the mountain. The elevation at the top of the mountain is 1,686 feet. You will cover this distance over one mile. The best part is running down the mountain...without stopping. Just be careful you don't slip and fall; it's a bit tricky! The Cherokee Trail at Stone Mountain circles the base of the mountain and runs approx. 5 miles.

Please note that the cost to get in the park is $10, so have some cash ready. (I think for another $20 you can get a whole season parking pass, which is a good deal if you plan to come back to the park a few more times throughout the year.) We can plan to park outside of the park and carpool in to save money. At 4:00 p.m. on May 1, the trails and asphalt areas shouldn't be hot, but I can't guarantee it. Please bring something for your feet if you feel the need to though. At any time during the year, you may want to consider carrying some minimalist footwear...just in case.
