- The state of Georgia is full of waterfalls, excellent hiking and some wonderful state parks. And if you want to see the best ones Cloudland Canyon should be on your list. Camp, glamp in a yurt or just come for the day to check out the trails, caves and waterfalls.

What’s the strangest accommodations you’ve stayed in?
Alice are you Vegan? I would love to see a food travel series from you.
Strangest accommodation was a hallowed out wooden log in the forest, during survival training.
@@---iy7bj oh my goodness well I would have probably picked a hollow tree trunk too. I’m mostly vegetarian but eat some seafood. I’ll be adding more food into my travels again soon.
the trunk of a car.
Surrounded by furniture in the back of a semi-truck - this was a lorry doing a few cross-country moves for various clients. We had some padded moving blankets for bedding. How did this happen? We were hitchhiking and this moving truck stopped to give us a lift!! 😃
I use to drive a Semi so always on the road , Parking in rest area along the ramp etc. But one time I woke up to two Beautiful horses visiting me in Texas in a field .
Glad to see “Miss Globe Trekker” in my backyard. I am a member of the Photographic Society of Chattanooga, and was President last year. Thank you for this video!
5:55 - cute dancing. 🌼🌼🥰
This is a great place to hit in the spring, lots of mountain laurel.
Cloudland Canyon is a gorgeous place to camp. Love that place!! Never been there in the winter months. It's hauntingly gorgeous with the leafless trees.
Such a beautiful place yes
Your enthusiasm and love of the outdoors is contagious. Like the reminders to take out everything you brought in when going out camping and hiking/backpacking. Kudos for that one.
I once slept on a cement boat ramp without a pad. But I was much, much younger. I have to have a Big Agnes blow-up pad now. Thanks for sharing.
LOL that sounds like a terrible place to sleep
So great to see people that simply have fun living life !
Great travel guide to a beautifull park. Those waterfalls are epic! Looked like a fun trip.
Gorgeous!
That dance was wonderful! What a grand exploration you did. I like the little spots you walked into and just looked around too!
Looks like an awesome trail to hike on!
Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them so.
When I’m out on the trail at camp site i always leave it nice then i found it Old Boy Scout thing
Good. Thank you
I like when you talk about getting better at video recording and photography by doing it that's what I'm doing
Thanks for sharing. I will check out that park.
Looks like a great place to Adventure 💚
Another supreme video Alice-methnks that a no ‘greenery’ walk gives panoramic views and those waterfalls and your dancing 💃 10 out of 10....🇬🇧
Thank you Matt
Very beautiful hike, cool yurt, and loved the falls
Thank you. Yes it’s certainly a cool park
Really enjoyed this! Well done! I will have to check out this area. Keep the trail recommendations coming.
Thank you so much
It's been almost 20 years since I last camped there. I didn't know about the Yurts until this video. Cloudland Canyon is a great place to camp and hike. I'm going to have to check it out again after seeing this video. Thanks!
I love revisiting places I haven’t been to in ages. I hope you go again. It will be swimming weather soon for those falls.
A definite favorite of mine! Next time I’ll do some glamping and explore it even more. Great video, Alice!
Thanks Lady, I want to go back when it’s warmer and swim
beautiful
Those waterfalls were beautiful,nice hike,enjoyed the video
Thanks for watching
Love your videos. I was at Cloudland Canyon a few ago. Great waterfalls.
Thank you it is such great park.
Your hikes inspire me , Your Smile and Excitement makes me want to do an weekend camping in a tent . I've never done that. Your Beautiful.
Thank you 🙏 I hope you have a wonderful time when you go
omg so many stairs :) nice waterfalls
It was a great way to wake up 😆
In our opinion, a lack of deciduous vegetation adds a very nice element to any hike - this allows keen eyes to get a much different perspective on the land. A cloudy day added into the mix = PERFECTION! It's very good to know how accessible this entire area is - thank you for mentioning that.
Thanks so much for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed the scenery
I never stay in a place like that. So interesting. New friends from Las Vegas.
Glamping is totally our style! I've always been interested in staying in a yurt, so it was great to learn what it's all about. Beautiful waterfall, but wow, 600 steps!? You're a champ.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!! I visited Cloudland a couple of years ago, and did the stairs down to Cherokee and Hemlock Falls. You a correct: definitely a thigh-burner. I hope to return there someday, but hike up the Sitton Gulch Trail to the falls, and maybe even find time to do the West Rim Trail. Greetings from Washington state!! :)
Wonderful yes I have also been trying to go to LuLu lake trust land which borders the park but is only open on Saturday’s. Such a great park
Lovely! We are going there in a few days. Thanks for the easy option - it’s been hot, so I need easy, not strenuous 🥵🙄🤣
Nice !
I just found your channel, subscribed, and looking forward to working my way through your videos.
Thank you so much for subscribing. What is one place you dream of visiting?
@@AliceFordAdventures I'm in my 60's and have hiked thousands of miles, but oddly enough have never been to Antelope Canyon or Zion National Park - those are two places I hope to visit some day. I already have hikes planned in Adirondacks this year, and hopefully 2400 miles of the CDT next year, so maybe the year after that. :-)
Haha nice dance and great travel vlog. I subbed 😻
We are natives of Georgia and still have not visited this state park. Making me want to get to it! We live very close to FDR State Park and go there a lot. Great video Alice!
Thanks so much for sharing. You’ve got to get over there I recommend on a weekday. It’s really a great park
omg i miss georgia.
Cloudland Canyon has become an overnight stop on my way to the Smokies...gotta plan another night or two to take in all the sights you showed us.
It’s such a great park
I’m from Manchester Uk 🇬🇧 I’m so jealous of the mountains and national parks over in the US 🇺🇸 they are beautiful, I’m only 27 so I’m will have to go and see some at some time in my life
I hope you’ve taken the train over to Pembrokeshire and Snowdonia, while not the same you guys have some real jewels there too. We just have a lot more to choose from. I hope you’re able to explore the world again soon
We really enjoyed our stay there! Beautiful Canyons would love to go back in a little more comfortable with a camera! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m glad you’ve been before it is really pretty
@@AliceFordAdventures definitely! Lots of beautiful places in the area. Checkout Lula Lake Land Trust if you're in the area again.
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Yay! Thank you!
@@AliceFordAdventures you're welcome 😊 keep up the good work really enjoying your videos
Never stayed in a yurt, looks like fun! I’ve stayed in the canvas tent cabins in Yosemite Valley - similar concept but not as big or fun to say. Was it heated or did you have to bring a sleeping bag?
Awesome video highlighting Cloudland Canyon State Park! Beautiful shots of the falls too! Always enjoy hiking trails with waterfalls. Didn't know much about this area of Georgia. Thank you for sharing! 👍😊
Thank you so much. Yes Georgia sure does have some hidden gems :)
Beautiful! After watching this I am definitely putting this park on my list to visit this summer. Last month I had the chance to go hiking at Fort Mountain State Park which is not too far from there. Have you ever hiked there?
I haven’t hiked there yet
You need to be hired by these parks and national forest services to do they’re videos. They literally just need to leave all the scripting and content creations to you. From one photog to another. Great work!
By the way I’m headed up this way to Chattanooga next in the two week if work permits with my twins. I would of driven right passes this gem. Thank you and love your Jeep by the way. We overland with a Jeep.
Thank you so much that means a lot and I really appreciate it. Have a great trip. #jeeplife
We went there today Ive seen alot of empty water bottles on our way to the bottom of Hemlock Falls.
Thats too bad. Sadly Georgia is not the best state when it comes to litter, I hope we can all do better as a whole.
@@AliceFordAdventures Just some hikers/visitors who have no respect to mother nature. Did not realized it will gonna come back to us.
what backpack are you using on this trip
Been really enjoying your channel. I’ve been jumping around watching various videos. At the moment I’m in Marietta, drove down from central NY a few weeks ago. I’ve been doing various hikes in the area. I was glad to see a Blood Mountain video, that’s one I want to do. This hike looks fun as well, I’m a sucker for waterfalls. I’m now adding this one to my travel plans. I’m going to hit up Smoky Mountain National park soon too. So thank you for the videos on that as well. Eventually I’m working my way out west. I’m going after the Grand Canyon at some point in the future. I saw your Longs Peak, I am also in the 47% that reached the summit, so congratulations on that. I met some great people on that hike. That was back in 2018. Just want to say, I love what you are doing and it’s very helpful. Do you carry bear spray and if so what kind would you recommend? I keep reading different reviews for various kinds and honestly I’m not sure which one to go with.
Hi Keith,
Thanks so much, it’s sounds like you are on a grand adventure. I do have bear spray but actually not with me on the east coast. I carry it in the Rockies if I’m camping but that’s about it. I actually don’t know the brand I picked it up at an outdoor retailer in CO
@@AliceFordAdventures Good morning Alice, no worries about the bear spray. I just do a little more research for that. I did Blood Mountain yesterday, what a great hike. I’m pretty sure I was the only 300+ pound guy at the summit. Hopefully in the next week I get to Great Smoky Mountain National park. I’m taking the concept of a “weight loss journey “ literally. Thank you for getting back to me. I look forward to more of your videos. I’ll be in Colorado in April, I’m really looking forward to that (weather pending of course)
I want to live in a yurt, but my wife wont let me :) Great vid as usual Alice!!!
I am not sure how we almost missed this one! Georgia is SUCH A GREAT place to go hiking this time of year. Please let us know if you will be in the area long- we'd love to host an adventure!
Thank you so much. I’ll only be in GA a few more days and then am making a slow return to the west coast
Love the video...Amie and I did the 600 steps...not so bad...Please tell me how you have your camera mounted on your shoulder...I need one..thanks...Scott
That is a mount from Peak Designs for my camera. I think I have a link in my Amazon shop in the description. It’s a great hike
@@AliceFordAdventures - thank you! That helps!!
My old stomping grounds. Havn't been there in 30 years.
It’s such a great park
@Alice Ford Yes it is. Was a great place to be raised. Still looks the same. Except for the little room you stayed in. Those weren't there.
Awsomeee!!! Guys, how much time u think that i need to separate to visit? 2hours?
If you want to see the park and do a few hikes you will need at least half a day. More like 4 hours but just down to the falls and back you could do in 2
@@AliceFordAdventures ohh, that’s my idea. Just go to the waterfalls and the overlook view. 4hours? Okok, thank u so much
So, where in Georgia? This looks wonderful!
Right south of Chattanooga in the Northwest Corner of Georgia.
It’s beautiful
You missed the best trail in the park, Bear Creek Backcountry Trail. Great views from the east rim and the creek area at the bottom of the climb is awesome.
I read about that one but with only a day I had to make some decisions. I’d love to go back and do that one
@@AliceFordAdventures Great job on the video. It's always tough with just one day there are so many cool things to see. I'm not sure if you have ever been but if you haven't look up Jacks River Falls. It is more rustic and you have multiple water crossings but it's nice. It's in the same region around Chattanooga.
Of all of the amazing places in the US you have hiked/traveled, how far up there is Georgia?
I would never have come to Georgia on a vacation, but now that I’ve “lived/worked here for a bit” I’ve realized how amazing it is to be so close to the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains. There’s so much to see, and do which makes it a great place to visit for the adventurer.
@@AliceFordAdventures Wait till you check out Jekyll Island and see the Driftwood beach. You would be surprised how vastly different it is traveling from North Georgia to the coast.
Saludos chula
Sure wish there was water there when I hiked up all those 600 stairs with my 40 lb camera pack plus a few miles from a neighborhood parking lot 🤦♂️. So dry.
Oh no. Well fall and spring are certainly wet periods to visit in
I have never seen any of your still photos.
Check out my IG lots of them over there and on my website )
Can you swim at the waterfalls?
Yes
Do you ever want to hike on Himalayas in india?
Yes I sure do. I'm not sure when I will get there, but I hope to visit one day.
@@AliceFordAdventures when you visit I am sure it would be one of the lifetime xperience of your life.
"Yurt?!" That's an ugly word. Can't they call those things something else like an ecocabin or something. Yurt sounds so .....so vegan.
Yurts have been around for centuries. They are traditionally what the Mongolians used, so very much not vegan 😆
@@AliceFordAdventures Hey, thanks didn't know that. But still, I was commenting on the word 'yurt' itself. It sounds like "yogurt". It's like living in an empty container of yogurt or something. They don't look very sturdy. They look like a tent wrapped around a wooden frame.
They're perfectly round, no corners. They look like UFO's.
It's like space aliens made them to trick humans into going into them, like some kind of trap for insects....
...once the humans enter them, they take off and fly to the moons of Jupiter to drop off it's new load of human protein for the many races of space aliens that David Ike says lives there.
They look like a big ginormous wheels of yellow cheese. LOL
If I were ever to live in one, it would have to be black or camouflage green, not cheddar cheese yellow.
You have some interesting camping and hiking videos. New sub!! Cheers!!
