Exploring Fort Mountain

 These two pics were taken while doing the Lake Trail at Fort Mountain.
 Cool Springs Overlook
A rocky part of the North Loop Trail.
Showing where we came from and where we went. We started at the Cool Springs Overlook for the second hike of the day. The first hike was all level around the lake, the second not so much. It was steep and rocking in spots.

Pocket Loop Trail at Pigeon Mountain

 Today we hiked the Pocket Loop Trail on Pigeon Mountain. This is a long shot of the waterfall.
 From the top of the falls. They were running nicely today.
 See the sun winking off the water?
 Rushing waters.
 Shot from the top down.
                                                              Designated camping spot.
You can't see it very well, but they have a handicap deck. It didn't look like it went all the way to the falls, but is a scenic walk nonetheless.

Carter's Lake

 We walked today at Carter's Lake in Chatsworth, Georgia. The part we walked around used to be a quarry. We thought this rock was was interesting.

Chickamauga Creek Gorge


Today, we hiked at the Chickamauga Creek Gorge. One of the most beautiful places we've seen yet!


Rocks and water. Always a favorite of mine.

First time we've seen rushing water that looked bluish green. Beautiful.
Just me enjoying the day.

See how clear the water was?

Hike on Fort Mountain in Georgia

 One of the hiking trails on Fort Mountain. I love all the colors surrounding the trail.
 On the drive up.
 The guard house for Fort Mountain Park.
 The other side of the guard house. Beautiful colors surrounded it.
 Very cheery yellow tree at the bathroom facilities.

I just thought this was a pretty part of the trail. Looks like a secret walkway or something.

Bald Rock Trail

Me and my mom.
View from overlook on Bald Rock Trail.

We walked the Bald Rock Trail again this past weekend. With my health problems now, we don't get to do much hiking. I sure do miss it so was really glad to be able to go on a short one.
