These pictures were taken while walking through the trails
of the Chattahooche National Forest's
Raven Cliffs Falls.

Along the trail that follows Dodd Creek up to the falls, you will
come across several flat areas prime for primitive camping. Great spots
next to the flowing creek.
The falls of Raven Cliffs falls break through a break in the granite
making for an interesting sight and worth the 2 mile hike up to it.
RAVEN CLIFFS TRAIL
Open to: Hiking
Length: 2.5 miles
This trail is in the Raven Cliffs Wilderness Area. The trail
follows cascading Dodd Creek upstream to the cliffs.

Turn left on GA 356 (75 Alternate) and travel 2.3 miles to

under the scenic highway. Parking is along the road."
The above directions are off the
National Forest trails
web site. However, they don't match reality. So
double check before following them out there.
