The next morning we drove into Stone Mountain State Park through the back entrance. We stopped to take a short hike to see Widow Creek Falls.
After, we continued on to see Stone Mountain Falls. We parked in the upper lot and took a moderate 2-mile hike.
It took us by the remains of a cabin.
On to the top of the falls.
The falls were amazing, 200 feet down across a stone face.
We didn’t walk down to the bottom, there were too many stairs.
Returning to our motor home, we ate lunch and rested in the parking lot. On the way back out of the park we stopped to see some cascades on the side of the road.
We tried to drive back to Cedar Stone Campground, but the back entrance was closed. We learned from a ranger that the park had become too crowded and Covid regulations forced them to close all entrances and exits except one. So we drove all the way back through the park to the front entrance. Sure enough, the police were directing traffic, allowing one car in whenever one car left the park. There was a line of several dozen cars waiting to get in. We wound our way through the country back to our campground, thank Garmin. It took us down this one narrow gravel road, but it was only a half-mile. We set back up at our site and spent the rest of the day there. We walked around the campground along the creek.
