After all the kids went to their other parents’ houses for Christmas, Smalls and I went to the Cohutta for the day for some relaxation. It was 72 degrees and sunny–who could pass up that opportunity?!
I fell in love with the Cohutta Wilderness after Smalls took me here for my first real overnight backpacking trip to Jacks Falls via Beech Bottom Trail. The Cohutta is over 37,000 acres in northwest Georgia. There are seemingly endless miles of forest service roads and over 90 miles of hiking. There are not many overlooks, but there are waterfalls. I can’t quite express what it is that I love so much about this area, but it is my favorite spot in Georgia. The serenity here is incredible.
