• Panola Mountain Hike

  

  National Trails Day celebrations abounded on Saturday and there were a plethora of day hikes to be explored.  I chose Panola Mountain because for three reasons:  1) it was closest to home, but still an hour away, 2) I'd never been there before, and 3) a guide was leading us through the restricted preservation area.

  Panola Mountain is the GA State Park closest to the Department of Natural Resources and quickly seems to be coming the model state park.  There are more activities listed on the web page than most others and I'm planning to go back and take advantage of at least two - the bike trail and the another foot hike to the top of the mountain.  This time we just walked around it :)

  Additionally, nearby is Arabia Mountain.  I need to go there, too, so that I can cross it off *the list* found in 60 Hikes Within 60 miles of Atlanta.

  Most of my pictures are in an album on Facebook - flora, fauna, and merriweather :)

  Here's a link to a pretty thistle.
