Amicalola Falls

3/6/2010 This is #1 on my list of falls for this year, and it's #1 on the list of the Georgia "big three" waterfalls.  At 729 ft this is reputed to be the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River (I've seen "east of the Rockies" but I'm not sure that's true)

The trail up to this is paved, and then you reach a long series of steps to a bridge that crosses the creek and then another long series of steps that goes all the way to the top of the falls.  If you drive up the park road towards the lodge, there is a parking area that also has a trail that leads to the bridge, saving the walk up the paved trail.

This falls is on Amicalola Creek
