Amicalola Falls
Dawsonville · Georgia · United States
Amicalola Falls State Park is said to be the largest waterfall in the eastern United States. After visiting, I found it to be quite small. The scenery was average overall, but it was very quiet and peaceful.
It was also raining that day, which created a feeling similar to the line “after fresh rain in the empty mountains, the weather turns to autumn in the evening.” The trails along the way felt like we had stumbled into a spider’s nest, with webs hanging everywhere in the trees. The colors made them look almost toxic.
We climbed about 600 steps, which completely exhausted me, while my companion still had plenty of energy.
