    Went there last year for Christmas. Started snowing the night we got there. Snowed all the next day. Wound up with 10 inches of snow. Was the most beautiful place I had ever seen with all the snow.

    • @alan30189
      @alan30189 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you want to see the coolest things in the USA, go to the national parks, out west. Probably the most diverse is Yellowstone National Park, then go south to the Grand Tetons, and stay in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Other national parks to check out (not necessarily in this order) are Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, and In California, Yosemite is unbelievably beautiful,. North of there, go to Muir Woods, near San Francisco, where the giant sequoia trees are.
      Check out my explanation on how Helen, GA, came to be, above. Helen, GA is nice, but the must-see thing in Georgia, is the Georgia Aquarium, in Atlanta.

    How ironic, I'll be in Helen this Sunday 8/19 - Tuesday 8/21. Been several times before but been about 8 years so can not wait to revisit and after watching your video am I ready to go. I leave there and head to Gatlinburg for a couple days and going to Dollywood on Wednesday 8/22, wife is a season pass holder and has a free pass for me that has to be used this month.

  • @alan30189
    @alan30189 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Since you didn’t look into it, or explain the history of the town, I will throw this in. Years ago, the city leaders of Helen wanted to attract more business to the town, so they decided to re-design the town to look like a German Village. It worked!
    Nearby is Dahlonega Georgia, which is a gold mining area. There are still are some active gold mines there. A couple of other sites to see if you go to Helen, are Anna Ruby Falls, and Brasstown Bald. Brasstown Bald is the highest point in Georgia. There’s an observation building at the top, which is very cool.

    I see you are not doing 100% Smokey's Area. And you love Water Falls. Check out Fall Creek Falls State Park. It has some small falls but they have a very large one. Bring your hiking stuff because we use to park at the visitor center and you can hike all the way over to the big falls. But you can also drive over to it.
