“To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.” – John Dewey
One of my favorite things to check out is a waterfall. I love watching the water rush down into the pool below. I like small waterfalls and large waterfalls. Size doesn’t matter. What matters to me is the beauty of and around the falls. I am willing to walk a little to see a good waterfall, but I don’t want to hike too much, and I prefer well-made paths. I like knowing where I am going, and I like to know it will be easy to get back to my truck. I am not the type who wants to go on a hike and need a GPS device to find my way back home. I love a good hike, I love seeing new places, but there is only so far that I am willing to travel. Lucky for me, there are some awesome waterfalls in North Carolina that are pretty easy to access.
A waterfall that is easy to get to is Anna Ruby Falls. It is located near Helen, Georgia. Helen is a fun German theme town in the North Georgia mountains. My family and I have visited Helen several times throughout the years. My wife and I visited here dozens of times while we were dating. We have taken the kids camping there a few times as well. We always have a great time checking out the shops and having delicious German food. The walk to the falls is not too bad. The road is paved. The best part is the entire walk up it is an amazing view. I had my camera out the entire time taking pictures of everything I saw. My family started to get a little annoyed with me because I was taking forever to get to the top. The view from the top is incredible. It is hard to capture all of the falls at once. Hopefully these photos will give you a sense of how amazing a scene this is.
