Tip for anyone going for the first time, try to go on a weekday, it gets insanely crowded on the weekends/holidays. If you plan on doing the loop trail from the lodge you might want to go DOWN the stairs and come back up the trail by the visitors center, it's a much easier, but still somewhat difficult incline going back up the trail.

It is so beautiful!!! You have to go!!!

My husband and I are going to Amicalola Falls next month. Great video! We're really looking forward to it ⛰🏞🗻

So all Gwinnett kids went here! Nice! It was the best field trip we went to in elementary school.

Great video guys. Is there paid parking once you arrive? Could I purchase beverages or food in the lounge? Is there an alternative route to come back down the falls? Thx for sharing✌

Hey! You pay only $5 to get in the park, they take cash at the gate or credit/debit at the visitor center. There is a small store inside the lodge and the visitor center. There is also a restaurant at the lodge, however, the menu is limited. There is another trail called the east ridge trail, we’ve never hiked that trail. You could also drive up and down the road next to the falls.

new sub. great video guys! my wife and 2yr old son will be staying in ellejay veterans weekend, fri-monday. we already plan on amicalola falls. i will be using a toddler hiking carrier. what other parks would you recommend? thank you so much. i'm now going to binge your other videos!

Thank you very much for the sub and binge watching! 😁😁 Amicalola is a great start for your family, another Park that is somewhat close by that we recommend, is Brasstown Bald which is above Helen, which Helen itself is awesome if you haven’t been already. Also Anna Ruby falls near Helen is nice as well. They are all in the same general area. We hope you enjoy your trip and let us know how it goes 😁😁

Nice. DJ is also a meadowcreek alumni. If you are interested in more place to explore, subscribe to our channel and see what places we have covered already and will cover in future videos

Great video! Thanks for sharing. To get to the place we see at 5:15, can we park and walk, or do we have a lot of steps to climb? If so, how many? Trying to plan a weekend trip with a baby and wondering whether to bring the baby carrier or the stroller. Thanks!

You can walk or drive actually. It depends on what you prefer. Walking is strenuous and there are a lot of stairs and steep grades. Either way it’s is absolutely worth it!

Do I have to use the steps to come back down or is it different?

@EatExploreMore

Sorry I'm just now getting back to you! You can either take the steps down or you can drive up and down whichever you prefer. What we usually do when we have family is we drive to the midway point and then walk to the middle of the falls, then get back in the car and drive to the top and view the top of the falls.

Thank you sooo much for this video: because of this video ....we went and were blown away from the beauty. and my kids loved!!! it!!..again.. thank you.. you can see my video on my page

For this video, at the time we were using the Yi 4K and a basic Nikon 4K coolpix camera. Since then we’ve upgraded to the Canon M50 which we absolutely LOVE! It is a little pricey but it is worth it and easy to use. Check it out amzn.to/2w6UwcV

How long did it take you to get to the top?

At what point does the trail to Amicalola Falls depart from the Appalachian Aproach Trail?

Not sure, never been that far. You get there from the park visiting center according to the maps given at the park. I hope that helps!

There is an separate trail that connects to the AT from the lodge up at the top of the mountain. You have to drive all the way up to the very top.
