My girlfriend and I went up to the Chattahoochee National Forest to get away for the day and just spend some time together outside.

If you live in Atlanta or around you should definitely check out this area. It’s around 2 hours north of Atlanta and has so much to offer.

We went to Neel Gap and met a ton of AT thru hikers as well as the infamous orange kitty. We then went on a short hike to the upper and lower desoto falls, and we found this cute lil snake!

We ended our day doing some gem mining, i was living my webkinz dream. Artie Fact would be proud 😭 Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests
