Hiking Trails In North Georgia Most Are FREE Or Cheap

I have promised myself that I would get more outside time this summer and hiking is an incredibly fun and inexpensive way to do it with the children or the entire family (yes you can get dad involved). For a great guide on trails around Georgia check out http://www.georgiatrails.com/gt/Georgia_Hikes
They are give you directions of trails in and around Georgia as well an easy to follow summary of each trail describing length, type of trail and they also provide ratings on easy or hardness of the trail.
As an add bonus they also provide information about the area the trail is in and histories of that area.

If you are in to biking trails they also have listings of a few of those: http://www.georgiatrails.com/gt/Bike_rides_in_Georgia

Eighty-year-old Jimmy Mirikitani survived the trauma of WWII internment camps, Hiroshima, and homelessness by creating art. But when 9/11 threatens his life on the New York City streets and a local filmmaker brings him to her home, the two embark on a journey to confront Jimmy's painful past. An intimate exploration of the lingering wounds of war and the healing powers of friendship and art, this documentary won the Audience Award at its premiere in the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. - thecatsofmirikitani.com
