Hike: East Palisades (Indian Trail entrance) 5-6 Miles

Last time we were there the tail was half flooded! Hopefully this time it will be dry!
We are going to hike the East Palisades Trail on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta, climbing to beautiful views from towering bluffs and hiking through a small bamboo forest. This is one of the most scenic in-town hikes in Atlanta. Other points of interest in this hike is a high-elevation overlook as well as a cave!
