After a great film at the interpretive center here at Tallulah Gorge State Park in the Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia, we headed out to the North Rim Trail to get a look at one of the grandest canyons in the eastern United States. It’s awe inspiring especially on this late April day with dogwoods, azaleas, and mountain laurel in bloom. What our hike didn’t boast in length it made up for in descent down to the suspension footbridge over Hurricane Falls and the three hundred and ten step staircase climb back up again. We’ve earned a treat. Rumor has it there’s good ice cream at a tourist trap a few miles north of here.
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
