GA-136 Cloudland Canyon Climb

GA-136 ascends roughly 9 miles from the LaFayette valley floor to the crest of Lookout Mountain in northwest Georgia, gaining approximately 2,000 feet through consistent S-curves with good sightlines. The summit section runs along Lookout Mountain's forested ridgeline west to Cloudland Canyon State Park, where dramatic canyon overlooks drop 1,000 feet to Sitton Gulch Creek. The road sees little traffic compared to the mountain roads of North Georgia and pairs well with the Alabama or Tennessee sections of the Lookout Mountain Parkway.
