One of the most underrated hikes in Georgia! I've been coming here for more than a decade and it's easy to see what keeps me coming back. Always a beautiful view and much less crowded than Stone Mountain. Miles of trails are very well maintained all year, multiple parking areas and the hike to the main summit is easy to follow from the nature center. My favorite time to come is after it rains or in the spring when the red algae starts to bloom- little red and white flowers grow out of the craters formed from all of the rain. When the craters fill with rain they look like mirrors, it feels like you are on another planet or jumping into some non fictional story line like 'the Neitherlands' in the magician's book series. Easy hike for any littles and very dog friendly! Fun fact: Steven kings 'pet cemetery' was filmed here along with 'cobra Kai'! read more
