This picture was taken on a rainy October day from the south rim of Tallulah Gorge in Georgia. If you look closely just above the center of the photo, you’ll see a suspension bridge. The suspension bridge leads from one rim to the other. All you need to do to cross the gorge is to go down approximately 450 steps on one side — and up approximately the same number on the other side! I’ve done it twice, but for some reason it takes me longer to go up than it does to go down!

what a beautiful and peaceful setting. it must be very tedious having to climb up so many steps.

A beautiful picture, it actually looks in the middle of nowhere, like the tropical rainforest or something. That bridge would be my worst nightmare! I can’t even walk past the basement sreps without making a wide berth!!

Beautiful,but I think I would enjoy the bridge from one side only.that is a lot of stairs to climb.

That sure is interesting terrain…I sure would have loved that place when I was young! Love looking at it now, just not sure I would like navigating.

I think it would take me longer to go down and up nowadays!

450 steps–twice–yipes but truly worth it. Nice scene, George.

This place is beautiful! (And don’t you just love saying “Talulah”? 🙂
My problem is going down stairs rather than up! You’ll have to try it again a la ROCKY! 🙂
