Happy Monday!
This weekend I went on a retreat and spent some time exploring North Georgia. Our group met up at Brasstown Bald, the highest point in the state, and rode a bus to the top to take in some amazing views of the surrounding mountains. While we were there, we met a local who shared some stories about the area and recommended a restaurant in Helen called Campfire. After watching the sunset, we headed down the mountain and stopped there for dinner. I ended up having one of the best smashburgers I have ever had. If you are ever in the alpine town of Helen, Campfire is worth a visit.
The next day is when things got interesting. We hiked Yonah Mountain, which was described to us as a moderate 4.1-mile trail with about 1,400 feet of elevation gain. It did not feel moderate at all once we started. It was the perfect day for a hike, and there were a ton of families and people with dogs taking advantage of the weather. We had to park along the road leading up to the trail because it was so busy. There were several steep sections, and it felt like we were climbing uphill the entire time. We took many breaks and paced ourselves, and there were a few moments when I thought about giving up. I am glad I kept going because the view at the top made it worth it. The sense of accomplishment felt great too.
I am still recovering from the hike. My calves are not happy, but one day I hope to take the kids with me.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
