Greetings, who's ready for a Fall-hiking, leaf-peeping extravaganza? Yup, me too! We will be meeting at the address above at Cedar Lake. From there, we will embark on a five-mile hike around the lake and partially on the Horse Thief Spring Trail. The hike has some moderate elevation gain but nothing too bad. After the hike, we will drive about 30 minutes to the Pine mountain Vista along the Talimena Scenic Byway. We will then drive westward along the byway, pulling off at the vistas along the way to take in the stunning beauty of the Fall colors in the mountains. Our final stop will be the Choctaw Vista near the junction of Highway 1 and Highway 271. We will call it a day after that.
