Georgia

Been a pretty busy June, but I found an afternoon that I was able to get out to hike. I felt compelled to back to the Blood Mountain area of North Georgia. I've hiked up Blood Mountain before, and it's one of my favorite areas to go. There was no time to go up the mountain, but I figured I had time to take a quick excursion up the Byron Herbert Reece Trail, which is only about .7 miles, but it's one of the entry trails to the Appalachian Trail.

The Sourwood Trail is part of the Lake Russell Recreation Area in Habersham County, Georgia, near Mt. Airy. This trail is in my old stomping grounds, as I spent my teenage years in Habersham County. It's a lovely trail, with a nice little waterfall around the midway point.
