Spring in the North Georgia Mountains begins in mid March. As we usher in daylight savings time on March 14th, spring’s official date is not too far behind on March 20th. Enjoy North Georgia’s colorful display of dogwoods, azaleas, wildflowers, rhododendrons and the beautiful wild daffodils.
Other points of interest are in North Georgia’s State Parks. If your interests lie with camping, fishing, grilling and exploration, here are a few parks that you can visit: Amicalola Falls, Black Rock Mountain, Red Top Mountain, Talullah Gorge, and Unicoi.
For additional information on Georgia’s beautiful State Parks visi the North Georgia Stat Parks Website.
Three Achasta members (Skip & Dixie Wilson, Shirley Christman) accompanied me on Friday for the first Mountain Bike Trip to Bull & Jake Mountain. These two mountains are just outside of Dahlonega, only about a 10-15min car ride. The four of us rode approximately 6mi on forest service road 28, which is absolutely gorgeous this time of year. The uphills were gradual, but the entire group was able to make it all the way to the top of Bull Mountain. The downhills were definitely the highlight of the trip for everyone... a nice reward for the labor getting up the mountain!
