This trail is beautful b/c the property is really neat, ie: cascading waterfall over a rock cliff, a 3 story deck that overlooks the Chattahoochee River and it’s riddled w/ spiritual icons and themes b/c it’s a catholic retreat house. The weekend retreats are spectacular and you will encounter God while your there. Give it a try………….pete
