Brasstown Bald Mountain

Reviewed By Homekeeper - Ocala, United States

While you shouldn’t miss the views from the top of the paved trail, don’t overlook the Amazing hike of the Wagon Trail! It was more rugged and lonely with fewer hikers. It really felt like we were on an adventure. We were visiting the third week of March and the weather that day was perfect with clear blue skies and about 40 degrees. The rhododendron and laurel had not bloomed yet, but we thought it would be beautiful in a few weeks! Expect to walk through some mud and areas where the streams converge with the trail. Don’t miss it!

Vogel State Park

Reviewed By TrailTrekker15 - Tallahassee, United States

My wife and I traveled to Vogel State Park on my birthday to hike the Bear Hair Gap Trail which climbs into the Blood Mountain Wilderness. The park was extremely busy and near capacity. We barely got in around 11 am. I recommend coming early. The trail begins near the cabins. Once we got onto the trail, the crowds rapidly thinned out. Bear Hair Gap Trail is mostly a back country trail. We had to ford many small streams. The scenery was stunning! The air was refreshing despite the high humidity of late May. Our first goal was to reach Vogel Overlook which was about a 1000 foot climb. This was a rigorous climb and I had to stop frequently to make it. The overlook gave us a rare opportunity to see where the car was parked giving us perspective on how high we climbed. Rather than head straight back down the mountain, we decided to hike deeper into the wilderness toward Blood Mountain. The trail only rose slowly for the next couple of miles. Near the intersection with the Coosa Backcountry trail, we discovered a several hundred foot high waterfall in the trees. It wasn’t shown on any map. We were amazed and so excited! Our hike back down the Coosa trail too was exciting with more waterfalls and rock formations frequently emerging out of the forest as we hiked. The solitude and beauty of this area was wonderful. I can not recommend this hike enough!

This is an actual working alpaca farm. They use the fiber from the alpacas for a variety of things. The owner is very nice and explains what the do at the farm. They also have classes available. The animals are very sweet and you are allowed to pet them. The tour is free but they will take donations and there are things to purchase. The tour and shopping took about one hour.
