Traveling to far off places to experience fun, happiness and peace is a passé.We don’t have to rush through life to book that ticket for Europe or to save money for a luxurious trip to the oceans. Lately, I have realized that all we need to do is to open our eyes wide, sit back and relax; we are not in a race to visit the world first. If we try to look around, we will find so many places in and around the city we dwell in, which are still unexplored and are exceptionally beautiful.
Amicalola Falls State Park
Amicalola Falls State Park is one such place. My husband and I have always thought of visiting different countries to experience the newness of traveling but driving through the countryside to a nearby water-fall is also an equally overwhelming experience. The journey to a destination sometimes is more beautiful than the destination itself. Located in the heart of Chattahoochee National Forest, Amicalola Falls are the perfect weekend gateway for those looking for an escape from the daily hustle-bustle.
We did a day trip and hiked the 720-foot tall falls. The trees became our shelter, and the ground was the dining table, every moment spent there made me realize that we don’t need to travel miles to feel the beauty and magic of nature, the gateway like these, the moments spent singing songs under the trees, walking the trails and drinking the mineral rich water straight from the rocks make the journey called life more beautiful.
Soak in the Nature Around You
A perfect weekend into the lap of mother nature. Eat under the trees, play guitar, sing songs, or camp. Anyone can hike the famous Appalachian Trail. This place is a refreshing change for those who like to get lost in the striking beauty of the mountains. For those who want more comfort, there are cabins and full-service hotel rooms available around the state park. While returning, back don’t forget to make a halt at the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall for some shopping from the best of the brands.
Life is beautiful and once in a while romancing with the nature add tons to its beauty.
