Cloudland Canyon

Pablo & I got up at 7:00 and headed out to Rising Fawn, GA to hike Cloudland Canyon State Park. It was a 2 hour car ride up through Lafayette, Dade, Villanow, Jackson.. (many other towns I have never heard of) then finally we arrived at Cloudland Canyon. We checked out the Visitor's Center & got our park map & headed to the parking area for the trail we picked. We were so excited to get out and start our excursion! We met a nice man that gave us some tips on which trail to take and other hiking pointers then we were off to our hike!
This is a view from one of the 1,200 stairs we had to use :) it took my breath away as I saw it through the trees.. Just beautiful!


We went to 2 waterfalls which we were there. Neither had tons of water flowing down but it will still beautiful and peaceful.
This first waterfall.


The lagoon at the bottom of the falls. There were some small fish swimming around in here.


After this we went down the 600 stairs to the 2nd falls.
Once again not a lot of water flowing but still gorgeous!


The reflection of the water was sparkling on the trees and rocks around. It was very peaceful to just sit and listen. We continued on a connected trail for about a mile then decided to turn around since we had 600 stairs to go back up to get to the car & to complete out 1,200 stairs of the day! :) once we finally made it back up all 600 stairs we saw another path to a beautiful overlook of the canyon. Once again it was beautiful!!
I can't wait to plan our next hike! I'm sure my legs will think differently in the morning! :)
but for now we are focusing on our beach trip/honeymoon!!

My computer has been attacked by a horrible virus!! It has even tricked my virus/security "protection" because it doesn't find a problem! So I have been computer-less for about 2 weeks now. I hope my sister-in-law can find a way to fix it nothin has worked so far!
But in better news!! Were going to the beach in 8 days! I am so excited and so is Pablo! I think it's going to be great for both of us to get away for a little while and relax!!
Something else exciting we are going to begin is hiking! After finding some places to go and spending a good chunk of money on the "equipment" we are ready!! Can't wait to visit Cloudland Canyon tomorrow with my wonderful husband!!
