The Bear Hair Gap Trail is part of the network of trails in Vogel State Park, in the Blood Mountain region of North Georgia. It's a winding trail, with moderate elevation changes up through the surrounding hills. These pictures were taken during a hike in the late fall, where many of the leaves have already fallen, but there is still some color lingering through the valley. Although the hike itself is pretty and worth one's time, the spur trail off to the Vogel outlook is a must, as it provides one of the best views of the trail.

The trees were mostly free of leaves in this late fall time. 
The trail follows this nice mountain stream at the beginning. 
I couldn't pass by this boulder without taking a shot. 
More rocks... 
The rocks were like the backs of creatures sliding beneath the waves of leaves. 
The trail winds up and down and around the hills. 
This is the view from the overlook spur trail. 
The leaves covered the trail towards the end, giving the area a rosy hue. 
The pointed beak of this boulder put me in mind of some hulking beast at the side of the trail. 
A parting shot of the creek as I leave the trail...
