Fall is almost upon us, Georgians. As much fun as this past summer has been, indulging in some of the most delicious donuts around and heading out to the coast, it is time for a change in seasons. But there is a light at the end of this autumn tunnel, especially for hiking enthusiasts. We have the perfect bridge trail in Georgia that will make you fall in love with fall again while also enjoying the ruins of a bridge which once was riddled with history. And if you don’t believe us, you’ll just have to see for yourself…
