Last Sunday, we headed up to Woody Gap for a nice hike with Rocco and his pal Nicky.
There's nothing like two Havanese hiking the Appalachian trail! The boys had a blast, and the portion of the trail we hiked was relatively easy with just a few rocks to scramble over and trees to climb over or under... your choice, if you're a short pup.
Woody Gap is located off of GA 60 near Suches, Ga. Take a look at our adventure!...
Starting down the trails with Rocco and Nicky.
Which way to go? Over or under?
Rocco vaults over (in a blur!) while Nicky chooses the low road.
Mountain dog!
Rocco says we need to run this trail! And we did for a little bit.
And then stopped to enjoy the view... and smells.

The Appalachian Trail passes through the building at Mountain Crossings, marking the only covered portion of the trail's 2,100-plus miles.
We met this kitty pal outside the outfitter.

The Oar House provided a beautiful dog-friendly setting, and the food was delicious too.
Rocco and Nicky were happy hanging out under the table with a view of the river.
If that wasn't enough activity for one day, we decided to head to the town of historic Dahlonega for a walk about town.
All the shops allowed us to bring the dogs in and then we finished off the day with a carriage ride! Wow! What a great day!

Loved the views & all the activity. What a great day out!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! (I knew super agility dog Rocco was going to go over that downed tree!) I'm not sure our boys would have dealt so well with the horses. Thanks for sharing this great FitDog adventure!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - love that view in Woody Gap. And the name of the park...Chattahoochee!! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful place and an awesome hike!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great day. Love the photos.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great day! Did Rocco drink your water again? Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun! So nice to see that every place was so dog friendly!
ReplyDeleteGreat hike Diane..There's some beautiful trails in N. GA...I still have a piece of pottery I bought in Dahlonega about a zillion years ago...Murphy & Cecil were the dogs with me on that trip
ReplyDeleteWhat a great adventure!! The pictures are beautiful, what a fun day out with the dogs!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome adventure and right near your home!!!! *high paws* The views are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe vegetation is different but your trail looks a lot like ours. I didn't know that the Appalachian trail passed through a building. That is really cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great adventure you had! We've hiked parts of the AT in Virginia and North Carolina, but never been down to the Georgia part of it. And I'm very impressed that Rocco and Nicky went on a carriage ride! I thought I was the only doggie brave enough to do that!

That looks like so much fun!!! If it wasn't for it being major tick season here, Maya, Pierson, and I would be doing more hiking. I hate ticks! Do you have tick problems there in Georgia?
ReplyDeletethose dogs look like they love the outdoors, mine does too! can't sit still
ReplyDeleteWow, you really packed a lot into one day! It all looks like it was lots of fun...love those views. That is really interesting that the AT goes right through that building.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great hiking spot! I'm moving back to Atlanta next year when I get back I will have to take my Joker there!
