Itinerary:

Join us for a beautiful hike at one of Georgia's state parks, Cloudland Canyon State Park.

We will start the hike at the Interpretive Center parking area.  From there, we will head to the first lookout.  We will hike down the Overlook Trail towards the Waterfalls Trail (approx. 2 miles).  After taking in views of the waterfalls, we will head down the stairs along the Sitton’s Gulch Trail (approx.. 5 Miles round-trip) and come back the same way, while taking in the views.  After catching our breath from the stairs, we will then head to the West Rim Loop Trail (approx. 4.5 to 5 miles round-trip).  After completing the lollipop like trail (i.e., West Rim Loop Trail), we will then head back to the Interpretive Center. 

The trail map can be found here: CloudlandCanyon-2013.pdf
