Glen Falls Trail on Lookout Mountain
In efforts to update my Waterfalls page, this Feb 2013 trip was back-posted in Feb 2016.
Before heading home from my Yurts of Georgia State Parks outing documented in Three of My Favorite Things!!, Connor and I visited Glen Falls Trail to (as you'll see later) squeeze in a few more waterfalls. This trail, especially around the Glen Falls area is dominated by rocks which makes sense given the proximity to Rock City.
Those two pictures above, and the two below, are of the 65 foot tiered lower cascades of Glen Falls.
You then cross a small bridge over a pool.
Climbing up above that you get to see the main 30 foot sluice that squeezes to make up Glen Falls.
Up past that is the less impressive 12 foot tiered upper falls. I about broke my butt when I slipped and fell while crossing the wet rocks!
In addition to a hiking the straightforward trails, here's a shot of the squeeze between some rocks you get to do on this hike.
Looking back at it, I'm blessed to have these times with Connor. He's growing into a young man now and simply doesn't share the same interests as his boring old man. I can only hope he remembers these outings as fondly as I do and if he decides to have children some day that maybe he'll take them on some of the same adventures we did. I'm so grateful for his love and the memories I've created and the ones still left to be made.
