Looking to visit multiple North Georgia waterfalls

Looking to visit multiple North Georgia waterfalls in one day? This is one of our favorite day-trip loops! This drive through the mountains traverses some of Georgia's most stunning mountain peaks, winds through beautiful backroads, and takes you to three of our favorite quick waterfall hikes.

This journey starts just north of Helen, where you'll hop onto "Richard B. Russell Scenic Hwy" and head northwest towards Hogpen Gap. Followed with a trip over to Helton Creek Falls, just be aware that Hatchet Creek Rd is gravel with two creek crossings if you approach the falls from the East. But there is an easier approach from 129/ Blood Mountain if you'd like to make the stop. We then crossed over Blood Mountain to visit Desoto Falls, which is another great short waterfall hike. This hike offers both an upper and lower falls which are split from the trailhead, so you can choose to do either one, or both! From Desoto Falls, we continued southwest over to Dick's Creek Falls/Water's Creek falls. (The name changes depending on who you ask) This is another great roadside spot with a beautiful falls and a couple fishing holes. It is a very popular swimming hole in the summer, but we had it to ourselves on this early autumn morning. This is a super brief summary to fit into Instagram's word limit, but if you'd like more details and suggestions, this is a spur from one of our blog posts linked in our bio!

One of the absolute best ways to appreciate a beau

One of the absolute best ways to appreciate a beautiful spring day is with a picnic to your favorite park or trail. And what better way to picnic than with Picnic Cafe and Dessertery This quaint little cafe and dessertery has been a Dahlonega staple for years and after your first visit, it's easy to understand why. With delicious sandwiches, soups, and desserts right on the square of this charming mountain town. On our last visit, we got a chicken salad sandwich with tomato basil bisque (which might be our favorite tomato bisque we've tried) and took it over to nearby Yahoola Creek Park. It made for a perfect relaxing afternoon and we know y'all would love it too!

Hiking has always been one of our go-to activities

Hiking has always been one of our go-to activities for getting out when we need some time in nature and some exercise, but it’s important that we do this responsibly. This includes cleaning up after ourselves and others. When we leave behind waste and harmful materials we are polluting these environments that we love, ruining them for ourselves and those around us. In addition to the environmental impact, we also risk the closure of these protected areas. If we don’t take care of them now, they may not exist much longer.

We always recommend carrying a trash bag for your outdoor adventures as you never know when you may need it. We always seem to generate more trash than we realize, and it's great to have somewhere to contain it. We all know the feeling of arriving at a campsite where the previous guests left a mess. You don’t want to be those people and we want to do what we can to clean up after those that do leave behind waste. If you’ve shopped with us in recent years, you know that we give out a reusable shopping bag with each purchase. We always have one of these bags tucked into our hiking pack for when we stumble across small garbage that we can pack out. These same principles apply to your pet’s waste.

Hiking with your dog is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, but it's important to be a responsible pet owner and clean up after yourself and your furry friend. Dog waste can spread disease, pollute water sources, and attract pests. So please, do your part to keep our trails clean and healthy! Here are some tips for cleaning up after your dog on the trail: Always carry doggy disposal bags with you, Pick up your dog's waste immediately after it happens, Dispose of the waste in a trash can or carry it out with you. By following these simple tips, you can help keep our trails clean and safe for everyone.
