Amicalola Falls

This Saturday we headed up to the North Georgia Mountains to see the leaves changing. We ended up at Amicalola Falls in Dawsonville. It was beautiful. It was a short hike to the base. The kids loved it.

Yes, that is a truck in the trees. Saw it on the hike to the base

There is a staircase at the base that you can take to the top. Yes, 425 steps. We decided why not and started up. First, thought I was going to die. Second, coming back down I discovered works a whole different set of muscles than going up. 850 steps later, my legs are sore today. I think next time, we'll drive to the top :)

At least I didn't have to carry Nolan like Jason did. Yes, he carried him the whole 425 steps.
Nicholas was a trooper and was the first one to the top.

View from the base...isn't it amazing
