Name: Short Line & Tallulah Gorge Suspension Bridge Trails
Distance: 5.1
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
Total Climbing Elevation: 689
Type: Loop
Notes: Another perfect winter day for a hike with sunny skies, little wind, and seasonal temperatures of 32F to 38F. With the exception of one very large tree blocking the trail, the trails were in very good shape with bridges to cross all wet areas but also well used with lots of exposed roots in places. We started our hike on the Terrora Trail behind the old Tallulah Falls Jail and later took a side loop, the Upper Terrora Nature Trail off of the Short Line Trail. Both trails were new to most of us and a pleasant non-paved alternative to the Short Line Trail. We followed up the Short Line Trail with a walk along the north rim of Tallulah Gorge, then down and across the suspension bridge at the bottom of the gorge and back up to complete our hike along the south rim trail. It was another "great day for a hike" on one of Tony Presley's favorite sets of trails. Today's Hikers: Linda Schultz, Jack Treadman, Eric Hotle, Lynn Hotle, Beth McDonald, Dick Metzgar, Jenny Bell, Matt Henderson, Beth Hawkins, Charles Hawkins, Angela Evans & Mike Bell.
