Amicalola Falls is a great place to hike, and close by. And if you're in the Atlanta area, you can either take 75/575, or 400 to get there. I hiked from Amicalola to Springer Mountain yesterday from the bottom of the falls (about 19 miles), and it wasn't too bad. I bet it'd be a lot prettier in the Spring. Just make sure you bring plenty of water, and good wool socks.
