Walden Creek Falls – Dahlonega, GA.
We arrived at the trailhead around 11 am and found the trail much more challenging than I thought it would be because of snow and ice. The path, normally easy, was now like navigating through a puzzle of compacted snow from off-roading. The temperature was about 41 degrees, but felt colder with the wind, so…

Bearden Creek Falls – Dawsonville, GA
We kicked off the new year with a hike at Bearden Creek Falls, near Dawsonville, GA. Considering Godfrey’s age (he’s 10 years old now if you’re keeping track), I chose an easy trail as he gets a little stiff after these hikes now. It was brisk in the late morning but refreshing compared to the…

Black Branch Trail – Dahlonega, GA.
This hike occurred on November 27, 2024. It was the day before my 58th birthday. The Black Branch Trail is rated as easy on Alltrails and the trail fits the description. There are a couple of mild inclines but the trail itself is flat mostly smooth and wide. There is one small stream crossing but…

Dog Lake & Pipeline Trail at Millcreek Canyon in Salt Lake City, UT
September always feels like the perfect time to hike, especially in Mill Creek Canyon, Salt Lake City, where on odd-numbered days, dogs can roam off-leash. Over the past week, Godfrey and I took on two trails: on September 3rd we did the more strenuous Dog Lake hike, followed by a gentler hike along the Mount…

Shoals Falls at Walden Creek – Dahlonega, GA.
I know in the episode I said Walden Creek Falls. I tend to screw that stuff up in the moment. It’s Shoals Falls at Walden Creek according to the Google Maps. The Alltrails app calls it the Walden Creek Waterfall Trail. So I decided to combine the two which seems more accurate to me. Godfrey…

Canada Creek Falls – Suches, GA
It was another beautiful mid-spring day with bright sun and temps in the 60s. Godfrey and I started out the hike around 9:30 am. We were set for what was billed as an easy 4 mile hike that followed a couple creeks with some waterfalls to view… according to Alltrails. This was not correct. The…

Three Forks Trail – Clayton, Georgia
It was an absolute perfect day for a long hike. Godfrey and I ventured a couple hours from home to a trail near Clayton, Georgia. It was a cool morning. The temperature was a little over 50 degrees and maybe hit 60 by the time I was done. This trail is overloaded with giant rhododendrons…

Fort Yargo State Park – 2023-03-14
It’s Pi Day! I’m at Fort Yargo State Park, in Winder, Georgia. It’s my first hike on this podcast without my Dog Godfrey. So, I apologize for the lack of Godfrey Pics. The trail beings with a new bridge that I didn’t know existed. It was a perfect day for a later winter hike. The…

Leap Day at Leatherwood Creek Loop, Toccoa, GA.
It’s Leap Day! Not that it’s anything special honestly and it’s not why I decided to go on a hike. It’s been a while and Godfrey and I needed to get back outside on the trails. It was a brisk morning around 40 degrees. The trail, part of the Chattahoochee National Forest, began with an…
