Sawnee Mountain Preserve

Went hiking yesterday on the Indian Seats Trail.  Easy hike up Sawnee Mountain to the Indian Seats.  The top provides for great views and on a clear day you can see all the way to the foot hills of the Appalachian Chain.  A sacred site for the Cherokee Indians

View from the Indian Seats at the top of Sawnee Mountain, check the snow out in the bottom left of this photo.


 View looking North toward the Blue Ridge Mountains.


Entrepreneurs attempted Gold Mining in the 1800's but could never make a go of it.  The cost of mining the gold was greater than the value of the Gold.

As Yogi Berra used to say, when you come to a fork in the road, take it.


I am setting a goal this year to hike to the 10 most picturesque Water Falls in North Georgia.  The vast majority also double as great trout streams so my purpose is well focused.  Hopefully I'll be able to get in some great hikes and catch some wild trout and have a feast for dinner or lunch.

Next hike and photos will be coming from Raven Cliff Falls.  The falls spills over a 400 foot cliff, so stay tuned in for some (hopefully) great photos
