To tell, or not to tell: that is the question: whether ’tis better to share the locations of outrageous beauty for all to enjoy, or to keep these destinations a mystery as if you are the only one privileged to know.
What a dilemma we face today on social media with taking pictures, posting them for thousands to see and discouraging viewers from asking more about the details for fear of becoming over popularized.
Picture: Havasu Falls
Had to stop and see Amicalola Falls before leaving Georgia. I confirmed a total of 600 steps up the 1/2 mile climb from bottom to top of this 550` waterfall. It was worth the side trip.

The last stop on my End of Summer East Coast Highpointing Tour: Brasstown Bald for #28 of 50
The Arkaquah Trail from Track Rock Gap is like an Appalacian-style hike in the jungle... a bunch of ups and downs through dense foliage and viney rhododendron shrubs. Turned out to be another 12-mile day RT with about 3,400 of gain. Not bad for the highest point in Georgia.

The trails through the forests of the East are so green! The only downside is that they all kinda look the same.

White markings on the trees (called blazes) marked the Foothills Trail to Sassafras Mountain in South Carolina. Blue blazes marked the Mt. Mitchell Trail to that summit in North Carolina. I wonder if that`s where the term "blazing the trail" comes from 🤔

South Carolina`s highpoint is down in the books now at #27. Took the Foothills Trail for a nice and easy walk in the woods for 9 miles RT.

If you`re ever in Asheville to do the Carolina highpoints, ya gotta stop in at "Hole" for some of thee best donuts I`ve ever had. These are as fresh as it gets with them made-to-order... my favorite was Toasted Almond Sesame!
