Listed Below are some of my favorite ways to enjoy Summer in the mountains.
1. Tallulah Gorge State Park- One of the most spectacular canyons in the eastern U.S., Tallulah Gorge is two miles long and nearly 1,000 feet deep. Visitors can hike rim trails to several overlooks, or they can obtain a permit to hike to the gorge floor (100 per day, not available during water releases). A suspension bridge sways 80 feet above the rocky bottom, providing spectacular views of the river and waterfalls. Tightrope walkers have twice crossed the gorge, and visitors can still see towers used by Karl Wallenda. A paved path follows an on old railroad bed, perfect for strollers and bicycles, while mountain bikers can test their skills on a challenging 10-mile trail. There is also a great Science and History Museum.
Tallulah Lake has public beach five minutes away for an afternoon swim. For more information http://www.gastateparks.org/TallulahGorge
2. Highlands Canopy Tours is located only 10 minutes North of Dillard and this is not your average Zip-Line Tour. They Have something for all ages and abilities. This is a favorite for all ages.
