Amicalola Falls
http://ngeorgia.com/parks/amicalola.html
Amicalola. The Cherokee had a name for it. High in the watershed of a ridge known as Amicalola Mountain a body of water forms, enthusiastically called a river. Along the western slope the river runs, until it tumbles, swirls and drops off a ledge at the southern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Amicalola. Tumbling water.
Our journey to Amicalola Falls State Park begins heading east from Jasper, Georgia, north and west of Atlanta. Not the quickest or easiest route, State Highway 136 affords the best long distance view of the falls’ 729 foot tumble. It is absolutely stunning, especially in the winter when the barren trees afford the falls little cover. The waterfall dwarfs the modern lodge to right.
