The hike gives an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of the city while maintain social distance courtesy: COVID-19. A pleasant surprise is that, as soon as you exit your car, you can hear the sounds of the creek below which is refreshing!
The hike follows its namesake waterway downstream, diving into a young, mossy hardwood forest.
The hike packs a lot of terrain and altitude change.
We walked on flat lands perfect for camping ...
... and also climbed uphill quite a few times!
We jumped over fallen trees ...
... and crossed the stream multiple times! Sometimes on jumping rocks ...
... and other times using the bridge while posing!
And finally cut through the North Georgia mountains to reach our destination -
The beautiful multi-tiered Panther creek waterfalls!
We underestimated the 12km hike and it got a little late to head back ...
... it kept getting darker and darker ...
But guess the upside? With no light pollution, I saw the most star studded sky (yet!)
Edit: Not to forget me doing my presentation from car and also meeting an accident mid-presentation. Achievement unlocked?
