Sope Creek Trail
We went on a hike yesterday. I've been searching for easy, kid-friendly trails since our hike at the Chattahoochee River Recreation Center last year because Neil said he loved it. I thought we would have to wait until spring to hike but the weather was warmer yesterday (54F) so we took advantage, as did the other people we met on the trail.
The Sope Creek Trail is less than 8 miles from the apartment. We were there at 3:30PM because that was the warmest part of the day. It took about 30 minutes to get to the creek, with some fairly steep incline. We took the easier trail going back. Hats off to Rich who had Ela on the carrier the whole time.
The creek flows through Sope Creek Park’s eastern side, tumbling over strewn angular boulders in a run past the 19th century paper mill ruins. The mill, built in 1855, was destroyed by Union armies during the Civil War, targeted for its role in paper production used for Confederate currency. The remnants of the foundation and first story walls stand, cathedral-like, beside the creek, and a small spillway waterfall tumbles beside the ruins. (Source)
It was nice to be outdoors and hear the rushing water. I hope we can come back during the other seasons because it would be more beautiful sight along if the trees had leaves.
