amicalola Falls, August 2019

A brief visit to the falls with visiting family. We hiked as far as the bottom of the steps, then drove to the West Ridge Trail to see the upper part of the falls, then had lunch at the lodge.

Not the best day or time of day for photography. Broken clouds and building thunderstorms, but very, very harsh light when the sun was not behind a cloud, and even then still very bright.

The falls are barely visible from the bottom of the trail because the trees have grown considerably in the past 25 years, and because everything is fully leafed-out. So limited photo ops.
