COMMUTE / OVERNIGHT CAMPING:
Allow 2 1/2 hours for your commute if you are driving from Atlanta, best to leave around 5:00am on Sunday. You may also consider driving out on Saturday and camping overnight to make it easier to get up early for the hike the next morning.
We suggest:
Pioneer Campground, Tallulah Falls GA
https://maps.app.goo.gl/QEeLvFxnBRndipC56
DURATION / DIFFICULTY:
It's a 1.7-mile out-and-back hike. This challenging trail traverses a steep, rocky embankment before reaching the gorge floor. You'll be descending about 1000 stairs and back again at the end.
Hikers can walk along the beautiful Tallulah River and view several waterfalls, slide down the natural rock slide and swim. You WILL get wet! We will likely be on the trail for 5 hours just to make the most of the day.
MEETING LOCATION:
Tallulah Gorge State Park
338 Jane Hurt Yarn Rd
Tallulah Falls, GA 30573
Please note:
To access the gorge floor, visitors must obtain a free permit which is limited to 100 per day. For information on obtaining a permit, please visit

BRING:
✔️Shoes with good tread
✔️Sunscreen, shades, hat
✔️Water bottle
✔️Layered clothing as the temps may be varied
✔️Snacks or a whole bag lunch
✔️A small backpack may be nice to have
KIDS:
Children ages 10+ are welcome as long as they are agile enough to keep up on this hike.
PETS:
Dogs are not allowed, sadly.
PARKING:
There's plenty of free parking in the lot
FORMAT:
7:30am - Arrive and get in line for the entrance
7:45am - Park and make your way (quickly) to the entrance to guarantee your pass to the Gorge Floor
8:00am - Circle up for introductions
8:15am - Safety orientation
8:30am - Intention setting and subtle sacrament
9:00am - Hike kicks off with members paired up with a buddy to keep everyone together
11:00am - Pause at the waterslide to play in the water and have lunch / picnic and discussion
1:00pm - Begin return trip back to parking lot
2:00pm - Closing circle and departure
The focus of this gathering is communion with sacrament at a level that everyone will be present and feel more connected to each other and nature.
Expect an elevated mood and sense of well-being.
The vibe will be warm and supportive. We always end up in the deep end of existential topics.
We lead with vulnerability and we welcome yours.
