Trip to Tallulah Gorge GA.

Tallulah Gorge is a gorge that is formed by the Tallulah cutting through the Tallulah Dome rock formation. The gorge is approximately 2 miles long and features rockycliffs up to 1,000 feet high. Through it, a series of falls known as Tallulah Falls drop a total of 490 ft in one mile. Tallulah Falls is actually composed of six separate falls: l'Eau d'Or 46 ft, Tempesta 76 ft, Hurricane the tallest at 96 feet, Oceana 50 ft, the smooth "sliding rock" at Bridal Veil 17 ft and Lovers Leap 16 ft. The Tallulah Gorge is located next to the town of Tallulah Falls, Georgia. Tallulah Gorge State Park protects much of the gorge and its waterfalls. The gorge is considered to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia.
