From Batumi, a winding and potentially dangerous but picturesque drive takes you to Mtirala National Park. The trails are gorgeous, well maintained, and the perfect level of difficulty for our multi-aged group.
The weather was hot and alternately sunny and cloudy, but we lucked out because there was no rain (Mtirala means "to cry", so you can imagine how things normally go).
We crossed many small streams along the way with lots of great places to get fresh cool water to drink (we didn't even mind the floaties). We lucked out in that it was peak season for the rhododendron. The trail culminated at this dramatic waterfall. We returned via an alternate route that took us to a neat contraption that crossed the river by man power. Our sweaty trek was rewarded at a quaint little inn that had lunch waiting for us upon our return.
