The Sonny Day Hikers ventured to a part of the AT we had not hiked before. The first mile (up to the falls) is shared by the AT and Benton-MacKaye trails. After a break at the falls, we stayed on the AT for a…
Some of us from the North Georgia Photography Club traveled to Lake Rutledge to attempt to photograph the Milky Way. We arrived before sunset and were rewarded with some excellent reflected light in the clouds and water. The clouds stayed until about 2:00 am,…
An exploratory hike by the Sonny Day Hikers turned out to be a very nice hike. The original intent was to turn around at the top of Deadennen Mtn, but most of the group chose not to go that far. The climb of Wilscot…
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…
