Views of the Chattahoochee River open wide after the trail ducks out from under the towering overpass, and the river’s flow is often glassy and reflective in this stretch. The highway’s enormous concrete supports tower cathedral-like over the wide, smooth-flowing river, a juxtaposition of nature and urban infrastructure. The trail passes under a highway overpass at just over. The river’s banks and rocky shoals are prime habitats for wildlife, including deer, geese, and heron.

The hotel offers a free breakfast, but we didn't wake up in time for it during our stay. The hotel offers a free shuttle to a location within a 5 mile radius, but luckily we had a car and did not need the shuttle. It was close to the convention center, (Waverly and Galleria area) but I would not walk it, as it requires crossing a very busy and under construction road.
