Yurt Living
Cloudland Canyon State Park is definitely one of my all time favorite state parks in Georgia! There is tons of hiking, beautiful views and waterfalls. It is close to Chattanooga and Lula Lake Land Trust. I have been several times, but this was the first time staying in a yurt–anywhere. We loved it!

The yurt has bunk beds and a futon sofa along with a table. There are bathroom facilities and a playground in the yurt village plus close access to the West Rim Loop Trail. We arrived late on Friday night so we unpacked and went to bed. There were strong thunderstorms though the night. We were right next to the canyon and the thunder was echoing from the canyon. Smalls and I really enjoyed it.
The next morning we woke up and headed over to the Interpretive Center to do the Overlook Trail and then headed down to the Waterfalls Trail. The weather held out long enough for us to see Cherokee Falls but not Hemlock Falls this trip. After another nice storm, we drove into Chattanooga and went to the aquarium. This is definitely one of our kids’ happy places.
There were more storms Saturday night and parts of Georgia had tornadoes. There was still more rain in the morning. The entire family was happy that we were staying in the yurt for this trip. We stayed perfectly comfortable and protected from the elements.
On the way home, we took the scenic route and did some off roading.
