Alis and Me
It was a beautiful day. I thought I’d missed it when I woke up at 11 AM. But I wrested my body out of bed, and made ready to ride. I’d just installed new EBC Double-H Sintered brake pads on my front and a 15-tooth front sprocket to improve my final drive ratio. I was ready to test them out, get out of Athens for a while, and explore more of the state that I temporarily call home.
I headed up Highway 441, a mildly winding highway that took me straight north out of Athens towards the Chattahoochee National Forest and North Carolina. The weather was great all day, never above 80 degrees, and sunny. With Underarmour beneath my riding jacket, and all vents open, I felt like I had a personal A/C unit attached.
My first stop was Tallulah Falls, a tiny town that had the feeling of an 1850s settlement based on the edge of a 900-foot ravine called the Tallulah Gorge. It’s the deepest canyon east of the Mississippi, and quite a sight. The river that runs through the gorge steps
down in six raging waterfalls before resuming its calm pace towards the Atlantic Ocean. I took a small detour before hitting the state park that manages the gorge – I found this sign:
Unfortunately, I didn’t find any bears along the way, but the discovery of the sign itself was well worth the detour!
At Tallulah Gorge State Park, there are paths that lead down to the base of the gorge, and hikers can hike along the river’s edge, but today was a water release day (the dam upstream was letting off more water than normal) and the gorge was reserved for kayakers. I can’t wait to go back in a couple weeks and hike down to the bottom of the canyon. For today, I took a short hike to the viewpoints of the waterfalls and a suspension bridge that spanned the river. It was pretty cool standing over gushing white water held on only by cable and blocks of wood.
