Canyon Climbers Club: A New Year's Resolution
Our family is inextricably connected with Georgia’s State Parks – we adore them! And we love to create goals for each new year that are tied to outdoor challenges. This year, we’ve challenged ourselves to the Canyon Climbers Club! We hope this encourages you to do the same.
Georgia State Parks Canyon Climber's Club
Four wild adventures await those interested in the Canyon Climbers Club. Before you get started, you’ll want to purchase a $20 membership online. Then, as you hike Georgia’s four canyons, you can wear your club shirt and mark off your checklist.
The four participating parks include:
Amicalola Falls
At Amicalola Falls State Park, you’ll find the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River. Club members must hike the waterfall trail at Amicalola – over 600 steps!
Cloudland Canyon
Perched on the edge of Lookout Mountain, Cloudland Canyon State Park offers amazing vista views. Club members must hike down the waterfall trail at Cloudland and back out — 1,200 steps each way.
Providence Canyon
Nicknamed Georgia’s "Little Grand Canyon," Providence Canyon has soil colors that will take your breath away. Club members must hike the 3 miles of Providence’s loop trail and Canyon 5 side-spur.
Tallulah Gorge
The gorge at Tallulah Gorge State Park runs 1,000 feet deep and features an 80-foot swinging bridge for fantastic views. Club members must walk up and down the north rim to the bridge – 620 feet.
Georgia’s Outdoor Explorer Candy Cook gives you the inside scoop on her experience with the Canyon Climbers at Tallulah.
