Click for More Pictures
Details: Paul Grist State Park is one of the state’s most
uncrowded, yet scenic state parks containing hills, forests, fields and a
large, beautiful, tree-lined lake.
Prior to
the dayhike we will get together at the smaller pavilion right near the park
office to eat our picnic lunches.
Please bring your picnic lunch and also $3 per person ($2 for seniors
age 62 and older) park admission and a beverage for yourself.
Dayhike Details: Hike rated moderate.
There are only a few ups and downs.
Total hiking distance is approximately 5.5 miles. We plan to walk all the way around the lake
and then also walk on some additional trails in the park to make the drive time
down and back worthwhile.
Well-behaved,
carefully supervised children age nine and over able to walk 6 miles without
complaining are welcome. Please bring
your picnic lunch and drink, and wear sturdy footwear.
Optional
group restaurant dinner after the hike.
Reservations not required for this outing.
Please
meet 9:45 a.m. at the McDonald’s
Galleria. We plan to depart from there at 10:00 a.m.

Southeastern Outings Easy Dayhike
Where: Vulcan Trail inside the City Limits of Birmingham
Details: Enjoy an easy walk in the woodlands overlooking
Birmingham on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
The trail is level, as it is on an old mining railroad right of way just
below the crest of Red Mountain. This
walk is an ideal activity for those Thanksgiving guests who have been in your
house for several days and with whom you are looking for something to do to get
them out of the house. A previous walk
on this trail drew one of the highest number of participants, 67, on any outing
SEO has ever sponsored. Don’t miss it!
Please
meet at 1:45 p.m. in the Vulcan Park and Museum Parking Lot where you
would normally park to visit the statue and Vulcan Park. We plan to depart from there at 2:00
p.m. We will walk from the big parking
lot a short distance down some new stairs to the trailhead and then on the
trail to Green Springs Highway and back.
The formerly unpaved section of the Vulcan Trail has recently been
widened and resurfaced.
There is
no charge to participate in this hike and there is no charge for admission to
either Vulcan Park or the trail.
Well-behaved,
carefully supervised children age 7 and older able to walk 4 miles
welcome. After the walk is completed,
there will be an optional dinner for our hikers at Jim 'N Nick's 11th Avenue
Grill at Five Points South.
Share an
adventure. Bring a friend or friends.
