Anyone else ready for fall?

Caught this awesome sunset a couple weeks ago while we were in the Outer Banks.

Love how the sunset reflected across the water. Sometimes you just have to stop and take it all in.

Definitely one of those views you wish lasted a little longer.

Ruby Falls on Lookout Mountain. You have to take the elevator down into the mountain /cave then walk a very narrow path to this one of a kind spot. There is a fee to enter. You can easily spend a whole day exploring all of the sights at Lookout Mountain.

Anna Ruby Falls near Helen, GA. This twin falls is reached via a somewhat steep 3/4 mile paved trail. Really impressive, we also reccomend Duke's Creek and Horsetrough Falls while in the area. There are a half dozen falls within 5 miles of Helen so this a great location to stay and explore.

Looking for a road trip idea? Then check out Brasstown falls in Long Creek SC. This beautiful area is only about 6 miles past the SC line east of Clayton, GA. There are 4 awesome falls in a half mile hike. The trail is easy for the top 2 but the bottom 2 require some effort. Check out page 30 of our guide for more info.
