Tallulah Gorge

Another one on the Canyon Climbers list..... Tallulah Gorge. One of Georgia's greatest natural wonders that's 2 miles long and up to 1000 feet deep with 7 waterfalls. This is one place I wished I got to visit longer, but we did get there to hike the stairs down to the bottom and back. They only give out 100 permits to actually leave the wooden decks and hike the canyon floor and you need to be there early to get them. We were just 3 people away from getting our permit, but the guy ahead of us had "3 people in the car waiting on the permits", so we were bumped. We'll be doing that next time for sure!

View from one of the observation areas.

Long way down!

The view looking down the Tallulah River.

Ah... the scary bridge. Here the Colbeck Brothers try to convince me that it's ok to cross.

I did, but let me tell ya.... it wiggled and swayed the whole way across and I was shaking like a leaf when I crossed it. I hear the view down was pretty cool..... I wouldn't know though. ; )


The falls at the bottom of the stairs. I wish I could remember how many there were.

The Canyon floor

And there goes the people that had permits. Hum!
On a side note..... we saw this place back on our way home along 441. They really weren't kidding when they say Goats on the Roof!

We actually HAD to stop. They actually live up there and that tall metal pully system in the picture is how you feed them. You buy a hand full of goat food, it falls into a bowl and is sent up to the roof and dumps out into their food trough. Very cool!
