Join us for the 2nd of the Canyon Climber series: Cloudland Canyon. This series of four hikes will take in Providence Canyon, Cloudland Canyon, Tallulah Gorge and last but not least Amicalola Falls from the bottom of the staircase!!! We will start from the Interpretive Canter parking area and then head for the first look out, following the overlook trail we will descend down the Waterfall trail and admire the spectacular waterfalls. After taking in the waterfalls we will head down the Sutton Gulch Trail and come back taking in the Canyons from below before ascending the to the top of the Canyon, from there we will follow the west rim trail ending back at the interpretive centre. The trail map can be found here: CloudlandCanyon-2013.pdf The requirements for Part 2 are as follows: Club members must hike down the Waterfalls Trail, and back up of course, to get their card punched.

The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances. | |||||
| Notes: | |||||||
|
There is a $5 parking fee unless you have a state pass. October 14th, 2013: Almost a year to the day after it closed, the Georgia Highway 136 bridge over West Chickamauga Creek in western Walker County has reopened. No more going 10-12 miles out of our way to get to Clouldland Canyon. * We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events. | |||||||
