Tallulah Gorge State Park is one of the best parks I’ve visited in a long time—and I visit a lot of parks. Too many public spaces seem to cower in fear of liability (Pearson’s Falls & Glen is a great … Continued

Coosa Backcountry Loop (12.9 miles)

by Chad Chandler | posted in: Backpacking, Georgia, Hiking, Loops, Trails | 0

The Coosa Backcountry Trail in Vogel State Park in northeast Georgia features a 12.9-mile loop. The park stresses that this shouldn’t be treated as a day-hike, but I disagree with that. The elevation is moderate-to-strenuous for seasoned hikers, but I … Continued

Unicoi State Park is right outside of the tourist town of Helen, Georgia—known for Bavarian-themed tchotchke shops and Harley-Davidson cosplayers. If you’ve never been before, just try imagining a tourist trap with a German twist. Unicoi features a man-made lake, … Continued

Georgia Guidestones

by Chad Chandler | posted in: Attractions, Georgia | 0

This is a pretty novel, albeit disappointing, historic site. I was expecting the stones to be more mysterious and imposing. The Brits who were also at the site agreed that this just didn’t live up to the hype. I don’t … Continued

Some all natural photos (meaning no *selfies) from my trip to the Rawah Wilderness in northern Colorado over the weekend.
