Helen, Georgia Last Post

I have enjoyed almost every moment of our two weeks here.  The rain messed us up a few days, but there isn't much you can do about that!  Given a chance I'll come back.  There is so much to see and do in this geographical area that another visit or two or three are necessary.

These are only a handful of the pictures I too here

The city has gone all out to make it a destination and nestled in the mountains makes it lovely.  The surrounding area includes State and National parks and the driving! Up and down mountains with gorgeous vistas around every curve.

Tomorrow we head to Asheville, North Carolina for two weeks

Anna Ruby Falls, Helen, Ga

A couple days ago, before the rains came and cooler temperatures, we hiked up to Anna Ruby Falls.  I'm glad the day was sunny and we went early.  We are out of shape and found a couple sections a little steep.  We had to rest a couple times! 

You have to drive through Unicoi State Park (no fee) and it costs $3 per person to enter the Anna Ruby Falls in Chattahoochee National Forest...our National Park Pass allowed us free access

The whole experience was wonderful and well worth the hike.  Beautiful every step of the way

I took a lot of pictures just because I could!  Only a few are here

Afterwards we went into Helen and had lunch and strolled the shops....more about that in another post
