Hiking Metro Atlanta's Hidden Forests

As hikers explore the woodland coves, creek-side trails, wooded hilltops, and rocky mountains contained in this guidebook, it’s easy to forget that every trail in this book is in a suburban neighborhood. While each of the more than sixty hikes described by Jonah McDonald and Zana Pouncey is within an hour drive of downtown, these hidden suburban forests transport hikers so much farther away.Each route includes maps, complete hiking directions, trailhead location, and even public transit access information. There’s no need to drive to the mountains to get out on the trail. Hiking Metro Atlanta’s Hidden Forests lets you visit wildlife areas, nature preserves, and historic sites without venturing far beyond the perimeter.
