If you have never been to the North Georgia Mountains, please realize that they are truly the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. They are not too bad to travel and the Vogel area isn't as difficult as some other areas I can think of. Being from Central Florida though, it may appear overwhelming but very possible to navigate. Vogel has access to the Appalachian Trail and is a very kid friendly park. If you enjoy Vogel, there is another park a little east of there called Unicoi near Hellen Ga. The town is modeled after a German Village that's worth a look. The whole area is great for fall leaf watching but this time of year also bring a lot of people. Hope you have fun.
