Join Bruce and some friends from his old hiking club-SOA in this very scenic and literally cool hike.From the Marta park and ride lot we will travel about 12 miles to I-985, which bears off to the left and travel to Clayton, GA for a brief stop at the Burger King; and then we will travel to the trailhead, approx. 15 miles distant. We’ll see the spectacular Holcomb Creek Falls, some 125’tall first, then smaller, but beautiful Ammons Creek Falls, then for another mile to an upper falls and wading pool on Holcomb Creek before returning to our cars.
