Sweetwater Creek State Park

Just to the west of Atlanta lies Sweetwater Creek State Park.  A natural, historical, and cultural conservation area that boasts a long and storied history; the ruins of which can still be seen in the state park.

After being told my dog Max and I had to be out of the apartment for 8 hours while they fixed my tub I decided it was the perfect time to go on a little exploratory hiking adventure through the Georgia wilderness.  So we packed a lunch and hit the road to Sweetwater Creek State Park.

Dahlonega and The Foothills

After a first two hot and polluted days in Atlanta we decided to head north a little ways towards the mountains. Specifically, the little town of Dahlonega and The Foothills Scenic Byway.
