Itinerary:

Come join us on a winter hike to Anna Ruby Falls, one of the best waterfalls in Georgia. We're going to start at Unicoi State Park and hike 4.5 miles along the Smith Creek trail to the Falls. We'll eat lunch at the Falls and then head back the way we came. The terrain is mostly level, but there are a couple of good size hills, which probably make this hike somewhere between a D3 and a D4. We will be hiking at a moderate pace on this hike, so if you're in decent shape, come join us!

Required Items to Bring:
2 liters of water, cold weather clothing, rain gear.

This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.
