There are a lot of roots on the unpaved path but it's not a challenging trek. The part I would be most careful about is the end, as it can be slippery on the wet rocks closest to the waterfall. The waterfall itself is very large (larger than what pictures make it seem even) and nice to look at. The parking situation is very minimal - it's really just space off the side of the road for a few cars to park in. The drive there is nice, and you can see many old lake houses alongside the river.

Located in Dawsonville off Hwy 136, this beautiful farm is a must-see stop during Fall. Before you even pull in, you'll see the acres of beaming and bright yellow sunflowers happy and thriving in the fields. The farm charges a small entrance fee, and they do allow you to cut and purchase your own sunflowers during certain weeks of peek season. They are great about posting updates to their website and social media for the upcoming season. I had so much fun walking through the fields and snapped some awesome photos of our local Georgia pollinators and famous monarch butterflies enjoying a snack provided by the sunflowers. Nature loves to show off!

It's the West Ridge Falls Access Trail. The trailhead parking area is woefully small, so you may not get a parking spot if you arrive during a busy time. Another advantage of the walking trial is going by an old crashed car from Prohibition on the side of the hill. There's a photo in the visitor's center if you miss it. It's cool to see the beginning of the Appalachian trail behind the visitor's center. There's a nice photo spot with a stone arch. We didn't stay at the lodge but went there after our hike for the famous view. Unfortunately it was foggy that day. Still, it's a cool lodge with a large window in the lobby and seating outside to enjoy the glorious view. There's a kickass map of the Appalachian trail on the lobby wall. The staff in the gift shop were pleasant and helpful.

It is a very beautiful section to hike, run and/ or camp on! Along the route you will pass over Preachers Rock! This is one of the best spots to watch sunrise if you're able to get up there before it begins! It is just over a mile from the parking lot of Woody Gap to the top of Preachers Rock. Along the route to Blood Mountain you will pass several designated camping spots (free to camp, first come first serve). I have yet to camp on this section, but I've picked a couple spots to try out next time! There are 3 water crossings along the route that you can fill up at; just make sure to filter the water before you drink it. I recommend bringing a Sawyer Mini water filter. It fits into the palm of your hands, so it doesn't take up any room in your pack. The trail itself is very easy to follow. I was a little nervous at first that I may get off course or take a wrong turn/ trail, but I can assure you that there is only one main trail that runs from Woody to Blood. There are some side trails that intersect, BUT they either lead to campsites or shelters. As long as you stay on the main trail, it is hard to get lost! I can't wait to go Bach again and run from Woody Gap to Neel Gap which will be around 20 miles round trip.
