Georgia Mountains

On our final day with Annie we decided to take her to the Georgia mountains. We had heard that Tallulah Gorge and Falls was pretty awesome. We didn’t go early enough to get tickets to actually hike in the gorge, they only let about 150 people per day down there, but we still saw plenty.

There was this slightly scary suspension bridge that you could use to cross the gorge.

At the bottom of about 300 metal steps there was the entrance to the gorge. If you didn’t have a pass you could mill around on a little wood porch they built a little over the river.

On the other side of the gorge there was this rock seat that we took a break on. It was nice and cool and we were super hot and exhausted from take about 1000 stairs down one side and up the other of the gorge.

Joe and Annie finished out the hike by doing a cartwheel, it was great.
There’s a little shop that you can stop by above the gorge that has a nice view. They also have some fun old photographs from early 1900’s.
