This weekend we got an opportunity to visit CLOUDLAND CANYON STATE PARK located in Northwest Georgia. This was our first visit and will go down as one of our favorite state parks. The occasion was a birthday trip for Eric who is turning 11 years old!
The cabins are very affordable. This one slept 8 in beds with two bedrooms. It had all the perks including a wood burning fireplace and a screened in porch with 4 wonderful rocking chairs. The cabins were perfectly secluded, yet still conveniently close to a hiking trail that led from our cottage to the rim of the canyon.
As you can see, there is still some fall color in the area.
Here's one view from the edge of the canyon. I guess they don't call it Cloudland Canyon for nothing - It was very foggy during our visit.
There were many trails that led to fantastic lookouts. The canyon normally would boast several waterfalls with trails leading to the bottoms, however, with our current drought situation the falls have been reduced to a mere trickle. Just another reminder of exactly how dry we are out here.

Looks so beautiful. Love the fall color. We don't get that here. It is summer one day and winter the next. The leaves fall off when it freezes without turning colors. Lovely pictures!
Oh, just WOW! Eric knows how to spend a birthday...fall leaves and cabins and rocking chairs and HIKING!!! You guys do live in a beautiful state, drought or not.
What a great family, and hiken and walking through that canyon is pure fun and a good workout. It seems like everyone is having a wondeful time. There is nothing like the great outdoors.
Great pic, Lisa! This was really a nice winter week-end trip....like the fall colors too!! I miss all of you so much!!
Well said.
