Last year, our resolution was to go outdoors more. Enjoy what nature has to offer. We found out we had lots of beautiful sights to visit within 30 minutes of where we live! One we visited quite frequently was Sweetwater Creek State Park. It’s where we started our resolution in 2015, so we decided to start 2016 here as well.
We decided we wanted to do a short and relaxing hike near by, so we checked out Sope Creek again and took advantage of the fall foliage. We enjoyed a relaxing hike along the creeks edge and took several photos throughout. Also, when we went along the paper mill it wasn’t nearly as crowded this time, so I was able to get a few photos inside as well! It’s such a lovely spot to visit and I lucked out and got some photos I really love. My favorite photo I have taken so far is to the right. I tried out some new tricks and I loved how it came out.
The Sope creek area is absolutely beautiful. We explored a civil war era paper mill and cotton mill ruin along the Sope Creek. It’s amazing how much nature has reclaimed after 150 years.
Georgia has been having an unusually warm winter that we have been able to take advantage and explore new areas close by. After looking up some local trails we decided to try out this one and it didn’t disappoint!
