We joined Danny for a half day CMC hike in Dupont. It was a nice to go out on a CMC hike, but so hot! This is not a high elevation hike. I was chugging water with electrolytes. Lots of bike riders on the trails, but only a few hikers. Good company. I like hiking with Danny, as she often includes a lot of history of the area in the hikes she leads.

Nice view on top of Stone Mountain
