Wheelchair Accessibility = good heading east, large hill heading west

The Grady Road Trailhead is at mile marker 45.8 on the Silver Comet Trail, and has paved parking.

Across the street from the Grady Road Trailhead is "Surprise Hill". It's taller than it looks and surprise, the rolling hills continue west to the Cedartown Depot Trailhead. Some of the rolling hills are steep and during the middle of the day, are in the direct sun. Take your time, bring plenty to drink, and be careful not to overheat.

Because this scenic section of trail is hilly, there are rocks of various sizes that roll onto the trail, along with turns that are sharper than they appear, so please watch your downhill speed, and make sure your breaks are in great shape.

Elevation PDF’s from the PATH Foundation:
Miles 42 – 47 - Steep elevation around mile 46 and 47
Miles 48 - 53 - The hill drops off heading west to the Cedartown Depot, but it’s uphill heading back east.
