Cloudland Canyon

Posted by Tejus Parikh on October 23, 2008

Two weeks ago, Sonali and I headed up to Cloudland Canyon State Park near the Tennessee and Alabama borders. I didn’t realize that any form like that existed in the state of Georgia. It’s not really near any of the other major attractions in North Georgia, but it’s very accessible from Chattanooga, TN. Being a bit off the beaten path keeps it from getting too crowded. It was lunchtime on a fantastic day and there were still ample picnic and parking spots.

It’s worth checking out if you like this sort of stuff. We took the 5.1 mile West Rim trails. There were some sections that were somewhat challenging, but the views were spectacular. Either this weekend or next will be the ideal times for fall color, so you might see us up there again.

If you prefer not to brave the great outdoors, you can live vicariously through our pictures.
