A group hike-scramble up to Cochran Creek Falls, Georgia's second tallest waterfall. |
|
Lower Falls After hiking along the creek for about 1.5 miles, the trail begins a steep scramble at this point. |
|
A little further on, the next waterfall... This began a series of beautiful cascades, but the next several immediately above this were inaccessible for photos. |
|
One of the middle falls Cochran Creek's upper drop is visible at the top of the image. |

View through the trees on the steep approach to the upper falls. Not a great shot, but it gives an idea of how steep the upper drops are. |
