Enjoy the beautiful outdoors at Tallulah Gorge State Park.  The  waterfall views are worth the hike up and down over 1000 stairs.  After  your hike, be sure to stop at the gift shop to purchase a Friends of  Tallulah Gorge t-shirt to commemorate your stair climb -- oh so many  stairs -- but worth it!
