Wednesdays are usually the most flexible day of virtual learning for my girls(14 and 9), so I decided to get them out of the house and head to the Atlanta Beltline Westside Trail. The Westside trail connects some of Atlanta's oldest and historic neighborhoods (Adair Park, Washington Park, West End, Mozley Park, and Westview).
We came prepared with our water bottles and masks, as there are constant reminders on the Atlanta beltline to stay masked up and social distance.
On today's walk there weren't very many people out. We passed the occasional biker, runner and leisure walker. The girls would have much rather to ride bikes but I decided we would walk and just take in the sights and be one with nature. This was a hard choice because I love cycling! There are plenty of scooter and bike rentals along the trail should you decide to use a different mode of transportation or don't have your own.
We entered the Beltline Westside trail near Lee and White St, where there are plenty of stops to grab a bite to eat and drink, such as the Wild Heaven Beer Brewery, Boxcar at Hop City West End, Monday Night Garage, and Best End Brewing Company to name a few. There is also outdoor seating in this area to safely social distance.
If you come out on a colder day, there are even fire pits available to light up to keep you and your company warm. As we strolled we took a little time to stop and read about the info boards by the Atlanta Beltline Arboretum and Trees Atlanta and to admire the beautiful graffiti art along the way.
We made our way to Lawton St and circle back to White St. and ended our walk going through Rose Circle Park before heading back to our car. There is plenty to do on the Beltline Westside Trail whether you are looking to exercise, explore, grab a bite to eat, or just learn a little history about the neighborhoods.
See you on the trails!
