it’s all so scenic and beautiful that it hardly matters. If you’re unable to walk or would simply rather not, horseback rides can be arranged, as can taxis to the San Luis Research station, which is only a 45-minute hike from the waterfalls. The research station – which is run by the University of Georgia – also serves hearty lunches during the noon hour, should you get hungry
