Description

A monadnock is an isolated rock hill that rises from a flat area. Georgia is home to 3 monadnocks. This route uses sidewalks and biking paths to connect Stone Mountain to Panola Mountain and then on to Arabia Mountain. It is an urban route with 12 miles of sidewalks, 8 miles of paved bike paths, and 6 miles on the monadnocks themselves. The route begins where the Walk Up Trail crosses the railroad at Stone Mountain. It ends at the walk-through trailhead gable near the AWARE Wildlife Center at Arabia Mountain.
