  • Shoals Falls at Walden Creek – Dahlonega, GA.

    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

    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

    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…

  • 2023-11-28 – Montgomery Falls – Dahlonega, Georgia

    2023-11-28 – Montgomery Falls – Dahlonega, Georgia

    I went for a hike to Montgomery Falls with my dog Godfrey for my 57th birthday. The hike to the falls is a little short so we extended it a little by going a half mile or so past the falls to another creek crossing. In all we did a little less than four miles…

    2023.10.19 Bearden Falls – Dahlonega, Georgia

    I was a great fall day for a hike. Temperatures were in the mid 50s with a slightly overcast sky. I picked this trail for the waterfall and while the hike was relatively short it was a lot of fun. The hike is fairly easy until you get close to the falls. To get to…

    2023-06-13 Dead Man’s Branch to Contentment Falls and Trestle Trail

    We had a great hike today. We went roughly 6 miles, saw a beautiful waterfall, a pretty cool train trestle (I annoyingly keep saying trellis in the video & audio because I couldn’t think of the word while recording), and got off track a couple times. To start I couldn’t find the trail head. The…

    2023-05-11 Rhododendron Trail to Chenocetah Memorial Tower

    It’s been a bit since I went out hiking. Sometimes life gets in the way. I regularly get out and walk around my neighborhood with my dog Godfrey but I’d rather hike out in the forests and mountains of North Georgia. Today we took a short hike of about 3.5 miles from the trailhead to…

  • 2023-01-31 Ivy Creek Greenway – Buford, GA

    2023-01-31 Ivy Creek Greenway – Buford, GA

    This was a true casual hike. No backpack, no water, nothing special at all. The Ivy Creek Greenway is in my new home town of Buford, GA. The northern trailhead is 5 minutes from my house and Ivy Creek itself runs behind my house. If there was a trail to walk along the creek I…

    2022-12-01 Broad River Trail to Farmers Bottom and Back – Toccoa, Georgia

    To celebrate my 56th birthday I decided to take a hike! Literally. I headed out a little before 9am with my dog Godfrey. It took a little over an hour to get there. I started out on the northern end of the trail. The drive to the southern trailhead is about 15 to 20 minutes…
