2. Cloudland Canyon State Park, GA

I had to think hard about how I was going to rank these last two. They’re my two favorites and I visited each multiple timesacross all four seasons. They’re also quite a bit ahead of Cheaha in third place. Cloudland Canyon is about 2 hours from Huntsville in the Northwest corner of Georgia and offers several hiking trails, waterfalls, and camping. What I love about Cloudland is that the park changes a lot with each season. The fall has amazing red and orange colors, the winter sometimes has snow and frozen waterfalls, and the spring and summer have gushing waterfalls and greens after the rain. My favorite trails here are the West Rim Trail and the two butt burning staircases down to Hemlock and Cherokee falls.
