AT sign @ the new Welcome Center at Amicalola Falls. From here you can take the Approach Trail to the southern terminus of the AT at Springer Mtn or to Len Foote Hike Inn (which my husband has walked & overnited). North Georgia
Overcast skies at Amicalola Falls gave me black rocks and long exposures. Amicalola Falls State Park is on the southern side of the Appalachian Mountains between Ellijay and Dahlonega, Georgia.

"Amicalola Falls, a 729-foot (222 m) waterfall, making it the highest in Georgia. It is considered to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia. An eight-mile (13 km) trail that winds past Amicalola Falls and leads to Springer Mountain, famous for being the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, begins in the park."

This view is from the lower platform. It shows the major cascades and upper falls. The upper bridge is barely visible. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amicalola_Falls_State_Park
This is the uppermost section of the falls. As you can see, there wasn't a whole lot of water. The sky and trees looked pretty good, though! In the comment section is a detail lower down near the viewing platform which was actually a walkway spanning the gorge. It was very crowded because the fall foliage time is the height of the tourist season here.

The color of the fall leaves has reached an incredible peak today as hardwoods show tremendously saturated yellows, oranges, reds and browns under clear blue skies. This photo was made at or near Amicalola Falls State Park, between Cartecay and Dahlonega on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest in North Georgia.
It was a rainy day but the falls were awesome. My husband was the umbrella holder while I pulled the camera from beneath my poncho and tried to get a decent shot. He deserves a medal!
This was my second day in a row of taking photos in the rain and under an umbrella. This image was taken from the top of the falls. Not much of a view today. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amicalola_Falls_State_Park
Foam Flower (Tiarella sp.). What used to be considered a single species (Tiarella cordifolia) has been split into five species. I think this one keys out to Tiarella nautila. Amicalola Falls State Park, Dawson County, Georgia.
This image was taken from the trail bridge. To me, this is the real waterfall. Below the trail bridge are a series of cascades. For more information: www.gastateparks.org/AmicalolaFalls/Trails
Amicalola Falls is nestled in the North Georgia Mountains area, Highway 52, Dawson County. In this exhibit, depicting the Falls before its commercialization, are Ruffed Grouse, which thrive in North Georgia. Grouse are favorite game birds among sportsmen and are considered real trophies. Also seen is a cock in the middle of his courting ritual with the hens scattered and attempting to act unconcerned--a sight rarely seen by naturalists.
The Georgia State Capitol, located at 206 Washington Street SW, was constructed from 1883 to 1889 to the design by Willoughby J. Edbrooke and Franklin P. Burnham of Chicago. Prior to 1868, Georgia's capitol sat in Savannah, Augusta, Louisville and Milledgeville. The capitol building, which sits on a five acre property occupied previously by the first Atlanta City Hall, highlights the democratic ideal of transparency in government with its wide open spaces and large windows. The offices of the governor, lieutenant governor and secretary of state are on the second floor. The third floor houses the General Assembly, or the legislative chambers--the 180-member House of Representatives, and the 56-member Senate. The fourth floor features visitors' galleries and the Georgia Capitol Museum. Under the rotunda is a Hall of Fame with marble busts of the Georgia signers of the Declaration of Independence, as well as other notable citizens from the past.

Amicalola Falls in northern Georgia; the waterfall's total drop is 729 feet (this is only a portion of the total); according to the Georgia State Parks website, this is "the tallest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River." However, Crabtree Falls, near the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, is said to be the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River with a total drop of 1,200 feet (according to Eastern Waterfall Guide at aria.com).

These beautiful colors lasted only for a moment as the sun set. People talk about the "Golden Hour"...on this day it was about 1 1/2 minutes!

Amicalola Falls,Dawsonville Ga. 729 feet highest waterfall in Georgia USA. This pic from Mt Oglethorpe elevation 3288 feet, Jasper Ga.---Mount Oglethorpe, the southernmost peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is located in Pickens County, Georgia and was the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail from when the trail was completed in 1937 until 1958. In 1958, as a result of over development around Mount Oglethorpe, the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail was moved about 20 miles (32 km) to the northeast to Springer Mountain. Mount Oglethorpe is considered by some to be a more dramatic mountain than Springer Mountain, but the construction of a gravel logging road on the mountain and the development of a number of chicken farms along the route, contributed to the move.
Until 1930, Mount Oglethorpe was called Grassy Knob, but the peak was renamed Mount Oglethorpe in honor of James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia. ___I added a link of pic below the falls flic.kr/p/dMDQS6
Georgia is known for having some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the entire country. We’re talking truly breathtaking cascades. Some people will flock all the way from out-of-state just to hike those gorgeous Georgia trails and wind up at a majestic waterfall. But did you know there’s a way t...
This is an amazing ribbon falls in Georgia. Amicalola is a Cherokee Indian word meaning tumbling waters which is certainly appropriate given the Falls are over 700 feet long and are the tallest east of the Mississippi River. The path along side the Falls includes over 600 stairs so you're pretty much bagged by the time you get to the top. We did the climb twice in addition to about 6 miles of other trail hikes over fairly rugged terrain during the 2 days we were there. I was certainly looking forward to the flat terrain of Florida after doing this.
