Little Mulberry Park, Dacula, Ga.

Given how annoying Atlanta traffic can be, I’m very happy to live close-in. But one thing I am very envious of when it comes to the outer suburbs is Gwinnett County’s excellent network of parks and green space. Little Mulberry is a good example, a beautiful little lake surrounded by a paved trail with plenty of dirt offshoots running in every directions. We caught it a bit too late for Fall leaves, which were likely spectacular only a few days or weeks ago, but was a nice, relaxing few miles on a Fall Sunday.

 

Graveyard Fields, NC

Wonderful little section of the Blue Ridge Parkway southwest of Asheville. The forest was destroyed by a 1920s fire, leaving behind a valley of grasses and a sandy soil that felt like it belonged west of the Mississippi. The name comes from the stumps left behind, but the nature and views are anything but dead. This is a unique piece of western North Carolina that needs to be experienced.

There is a winding stream cutting through the valley, and falls on either side, the upper one offering a spectacular view from the top.

The upper falls. Note the person on the rocks below for scale…
