Amicalola Falls

               

Today we visited (and hiked) the Amicalola Falls, in Dawsonville Georgia. Although the Appalachian Trail begins on the top of Springer Mountain, there is an 8.8 mile "approach trail" that starts at Amicalola Falls. This is because the actual beginning of the trail is not accessable by car, so many actually start here!

8/23

The climb to the top of the falls was pretty intense. From the bottom there are 604 steps, with a landing/access point halfway. We actually started 1/2 way, went all the way up, then went all the way down and back up again. I cant even count how many steps that was!
