Amicalola Falls to Hiawassee, GA: mile 0-69.6

The archway at the start of the Amicalola Falls approach trial

Hey all, sorry for the delay; it turns out AT&T doesn’t want Georgia mountain folk to communicate. It’s been tough getting enough signal to post.  But alas we’re back in civilization (Hiawassee, GA) for a night of relaxing, eating and showering!  

Then it’s back on the trail tomorrow. 

In the mean time here are some photos we’ve taken so far…hope you enjoy!!

The Falls and the notorious 425 steps to the top
