Amicalola Falls State Park is in the North Georgia area, located west of Dahlonega. Besides the obvious attraction, the waterfalls themselves, there is a network of trails through the park. These images are from the Spring Trail, the Mountain Laurel, or Green Mountain, Trail, and the Creek Trail, which together form a loop through the main part of the park.
While taking this picture, a passing hiker asked if I had seen an animal or something. When I told him I was just taking the picture of the moss, he was a bit nonplussed. 
A creek down near the visitor's center. 
The trees in the area had some amazing knots and twists. 
Not sure which direction this was pointing. 
More twists in the trees 
The knot in this tree goes all the way through the trunk. 
This image was taken from the top of the falls.
