Sittons Gulch Trail, Cloudland Canyon SP

Cloudland Canyon State Park which is located in N Georgia, contains some beautiful vistas and water falls along some easily accessible trails such as Sittons Gulch.  
The "Mysterious One", and I accessed this awesome trail for a 6 mile day hike from the trailhead just outside Trenton, GA.

This hike was a few days ago (4/14), and given the recent rains the trail was vacant when we arrived except for a park ranger gathering something off the trail which we could not identify.
Maybe gathering data for some scientific study on trees or invasive species, or maybe some garbage.
There is a previous entry on this site regarding this route however we deviated from the trail just before the falls and explored another.  Wildflowers were plentiful along this route and the wildflower trail that loops off of the main trail and returns to the parking area if your heading in that direction.
Hiking this trail should be considered a moderate level of difficulty, with some steep grades at times, which could be difficult for some.
If one is in Chattanooga or vicinity, this trail is relatively close, 30 mins. or less, and would make for a nice walk on a Sunday afternoon before the work week begins.
