Amicalola Falls

• Day 1 -

  • Hike 5 miles from main part of Amicalola Falls State Park to Len Foote Hike Inn

  • Take the ecco "LEED" and "worm" tour given by Gwenn

  • Saw great Sun Set

  • Very Clear Stars in the sky

  • We spent the night at Len Foote Hike Inn

  • One building had guest rooms and common check-in area heated by wood stove.

  • The next building down the steps was the "bath" house with toilets that "fed the worm bed"

  • The next building down was the mess hall - with very good food... and another set of "worm beds".

  • The next building down was the "game room" with board games....  great view.... 

  • Hot upper bunk and a cool lower bunk in the same room thanks to a heating panel with no air flow.  .

  • High was around lower mid 40s  and low was around 28.
