For the nearly 10 years we have lived in Georgia, Tallulah Gorge is one place I have always wanted to hike. It is located in the Northeast corner of Georgia. Not far from the North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina boarder. It is not for the casual walker or hiker. It has some serious stairs and trails. A good practice hike would be Amicalola Falls. We chose Memorial Day weekend to drive up and meet my parents who came in from South Carolina. Let's just say it was a bit HOT that day! Our kiddos are ready to head out west. This was quite a hiking journey for all of us...but so worth it!
Believe it or not, this is not where Carsyn spent all her time. She was awesome about hiking in the 90 plus heat!

One of the top over looks.
The hikers themselves.
One of the magnificent views.
Another view.
The suspension bridge we had to cross while heading down into the gorge.
One of the many falls. This one is called bridal veil falls.
After descending over 500 stairs. Now time to head back up. You actually have to get a permit to hike the floor of the gorge. You also have to be much older and be one of the first 50 people of the day to receive a permit.
We packed a nice picnic lunch to have and then went out to dinner a local restaurant near by. I can't wait to visit this fall!

Whew!! What a hike. . but what a grogeous view! It reminded us of our hikes to see the Techquamenon Water Falls (I didn't spell that well) in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. So fun to be able to meet you all for a fun day!!!! Love, mom
