This is a moderate paced, scenic drive incorporating scenic, twisty mountain highways and includes short hikes to 3 of North Georgia’s most beautiful waterfalls.

We’ll then drive to Dahlonega for our lunch stop at Bratzeit, a German restaurant. From there it’s a short drive to Camp Glisson and a short 0.25 mile hike to view Cane Creek Falls. From there we’ll drive to DeSoto Falls ($3 per car).  It’s about 0.25 mile moderate hike to view the Lower Falls. From there we’ll drive back through Young Harris and conclude with a short visit to Hamilton Gardens in Hiawassee (free) with more than 400 varieties of rhododendron.
