We decided to take a short Saturday hike along the East Palisades trail located in the Chattahoochee National Forest. It is a short and easy trail that gives you a feel of being out of the city while being located right in the middle of Atlanta. The trail's name refers to the high, steep cliffs that run along the river. You begin up top and hike down into the gorge where you can easily walk out onto the rocks in the river (a lot easier due to our lack of rain). The granite palisades were often called the Delvils' stairsteps by boatman in the 19th century because they were "the devil" to navigate. We had a great time and hope to bring visitors along next time.

So happy you have decided to join the blogging world! So here is a big WELCOME from the west coast! :)
Wonderful first post, the first of many I hope. Great to "see" you and Steven again. I like the design you picked out for the blog and your title. I am already sick of my design & want to change it up. Are you going to give photo credit for the flower sniffing picture? ; )
