Twelve-year-old Jarred DeVito had two choices Saturday: Attend his sister’s friend’s birthday party or hike Amicalola Falls with his grandmother in Dawson County. Jarred chose to go on the hike and was glad he did. “It was very fun,” the North Hall Middle School student said, pointing out he learned about the snakes, rocks and minerals during the hike down the easy Upper Falls Trail to Amicalola Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the East.
