... because not only are there spectacular views, but also the water features throughout the trail are worth enjoying.
The trail provides access to different streams, cascades, and even the four different waterfalls.

These include the Buice Falls and the Creek Falls.
Be prepared for a steady ascent and descent on this trail.

It has an elevation change of just under 1,500 feet so it might not be suitable for kids.
Many hikers can complete the loop at a steady pace at around 4 hours...

... even with a few stops at the different features or if they brought along a bite to eat along the way.
This isn’t a hike for the faint of heart, or even for beginners that are looking for a quick jaunt through nature.

But instead, it’s a tricky Georgia hiking trail that can be grueling at times.
But the natural rewards along the way make it very worth it for most.
