The CK Daily – A Local Atlanta Hike
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is enjoying these last few days of January! It feels like the month that never ends with all the cold, dark, dreary days so I’m definitely excited to welcome February on Thursday!
We had quite a bit of rain last week and Saturday ended up being a total rainout which meant lots of time at home, but I was able to get outside for a hike on Sunday which is always such a mood booster! This time, instead of ice, we encountered LOTS of mud!
Normally we love to head up to north Georgia or the surrounding states for hikes with beautiful mountain views, but this time we decided to head into Atlanta to explore the East Palisades Trail which is a 4.2 mile trail that runs along the Chattahoochee River and leads to a magical little bamboo forest! We hiked this one a couple of years ago during the summertime and everything was lush, green, and beautiful. It definitely gave “Jungle Book” vibes and the reel we posted on it ended up going viral. It seemed like a lot of people were surprised to learn that this hidden gem exists right in Atlanta’s own backyard!
This time around it was a lot colder and far less beautiful due to hiking it in the dead of winter, but we still had a great time and the bamboo forest was still really fun to see! If you’re local, it’s worth checking out if you are looking for a quick day hike! It has a bit of elevation, but it’s definitely a family-friendly hike. Just be sure to follow the maps closely as it is VERY easy to get lost along the way due to lots of intersecting trails!
Hopefully, we’ll be blessed with a few warm days in February for getting outside and exploring!
