Why you should go…

Just east of the city, a mountain of solid granite rises out of the pines, hike the walk-up trail or take the Summit Skyride cable car for views that stretch to the Atlanta skyline. Below, 3,200 acres of park serve up a scenic railroad, adventure attractions, lakeside trails and big seasonal events. It's an easy full day of outdoor fun for the whole crew.
