As we make our way into spring here in North Georgia, we can't help but look forward to hikes among the vibrant and fresh greens of new growth. One town we always end up passing through on our way to some of our favorite hikes is Helen, Georgia. This little Bavarian-themed village is nestled right on the Chattahoochee River deep in the north Georgia mountains. This makes it a fantastic hub for getting out to the surrounding hikes. Some of Georgia's best hikes like Raven Cliff Falls, Mount Yonah, Smithgall Woods, and many more are all within a 15-minute drive of Helen. If you're considering a trip to the mountains this spring, we recommend checking out our "Weekend Guide" to see if this might be a good fit for you!
