Tallulah Gorge State Park, Tallulah Falls

The views are breathtaking. Every staff member was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. We obtained the free permit and hiked down to the gorge floor. It was awesome! As soon as you drop down below the suspension bridge, there is no trail. You must find your own way along the river, crossing the river twice. It is challenging, to say to the least. There is a natural rock slide at the bridal veil falls, where you can slide down the falls into the pool of water below. Great way to cool off before crossing over and ascending 700 feet over the next quarter of a mile. That's pretty steep, but really not as difficult as we thought it would be. There is also a rim trail that offers spectacular views of the gorge, including the falls. There is something for everyone here.

Great little walk. Mostly stairs which makes it easy on the way down. If you are not used to hiking it is still doable, just carry some water. Be careful on stairs they can make you a little dizzy. Look to the edge, it'll help with the feeling. The bridge swings a little, don't be scared, just part of the experience. It has some great views. On the way back up you'll feel the stairs just take your time and enjoy yourself.
