    Oh hey! Here's a little bit about one of our favor Oh hey! Here's a little bit about one of our favorite brands, @roark . Take it from Wes, he looks awesome. #appalachia #wandernorthga #getoutside #georgia #exploregeorgia
    Georgia is home to some truly spectacular waterfal Georgia is home to some truly spectacular waterfalls, and while some of them require deep treks into the woods, others can be found just a few steps from the car. These are three of our favorite waterfalls that can all be done with less than a mile of hiking!

Toccoa Falls is an astounding 186 feet tall, which makes it Georgia’s tallest free-falling waterfall. This impressive falls is truly best appreciated standing right below the base of the falls where you’ll be looking towards the sky to see the top. The waterfall is accessed via a very short gravel path from the college’s visitor center, where they do request a $2 visitor’s fee.

Helton Creek Falls is a gorgeous waterfall located within the national forest between Helen and Blairsville. You will hike just over a half mile round-trip for this one if you want to see both the upper and lower falls. We always love the drive to get here as well. Taking the scenic route over Richard B Russell highway, you’ll pass Hog Pen Gap which is one of our favorite roadside overlooks in the state. Mountain vistas and a waterfall in one short outing!

Minnehaha Falls holds a special place in our hearts. We’ve been to some astounding waterfalls all around the world, but if you ask our favorite, we almost always land back here. Something about the stair-step formation of these falls and the beautiful surroundings just make for such a tranquil setting. All within a half-mile hike from the parking area.

What are your favorite short-hikes in Georgia? We’re always looking for more on those days when we’re not up for hiking several miles.

    Some of you may have seen Brandon from Blown Studi Some of you may have seen Brandon from Blown Studios here at the shop a couple of months ago for the glassblowing workshop, but did you know he has his own space down in Savannah? The city of Savannah was one of the main stops on our South Georgia trip a few years back, and with so many incredible shops and restaurants, we had to spend a few days here. Savannah and its surrounding coast are a popular destination for us Georgians, so we know some of y'all can relate. There are way too many incredible places to eat, drink, and explore for us to even get close to listing them all here. So please check out the full blog post linked below for our full itinerary! But we'll say this, there isn't much we wouldn't give right now to be sitting dockside at The Wyld and throwing back some fish tacos.

    Hard to believe it's January when the temperatures Hard to believe it's January when the temperatures this week are getting up into the 60's. But why not take advantage of it with a picnic lunch from @thepicniccafe .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!

    One of the most underrated conservation tips that One of the most underrated conservation tips that we all tend to forget is the power of planning ahead. This time of year when conditions change on  the daily, it's espescially important to make sure you're prepared for whatever Georgia decides to throw your way. 

But whether you are heading out for a short 3-mile day hike, or a 3-day overnight trip, it’s always important to plan ahead. What does it mean to plan for an outdoor excursion? It means knowing where you are going, what you expect to do, and what challenges you may face. 
While deciding where to go can often be a daunting task on its own, that should never be the end of the discussion. Once you have picked out your destination, it is important to acknowledge any variables of this location and plan accordingly. What will the weather be like when you visit? Beyond the obvious of needing different gear for different weather, it is important to consider how different weather conditions affect the trip. An unexpected shower can drastically alter some terrain, making it much more difficult to navigate.
It is also extremely important to consider any current restrictions or warnings. Many of the places that we visit on a regular basis may have short and long term regulations that we were never aware of until we started actively and intentionally looking for them. You should always check for updated guidelines before visiting, even if it is a location that you have visited hundreds of times before.
It’s also helpful to remember that one of the most important things you can do is to learn from your experiences. So keep an active mind about improving for your next trip. Whether it means bringing more water, planning for meals that don’t require a fire, or altering your route for the participants. No trip is perfect, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t learn from it! #northgeorgia #appalachia #wandernorthga #georgia #claytonga
