**DUE TO PERMITTING AND THE LACK OF TRAIL MAINTENANCE, THIS HIKE HAS BEEN CANCELLED. NEW HIKE IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 21ST** September’s Light Hike will be to the beautiful 2-mile trail at Edge of the World Rapids along the Amicalola River. This trail typically requires people to have a hunting/fishing license; however, we have acquired a special permit from DNR to allow our group to go for free! So join us for a day of awe-inspiring scenery, good exercise, fun and great fellowship as we get out and explore God’s incredible creation. *If you’ve never been to an Echo event, this is the perfect time to come!
