A Great Place for a Weekend Hike - Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta 🏞️

💦Last weekend, the weather was fantastic, so I went to Stone Mountain Park near Atlanta with my friends. The tickets were quite a bargain.🌳 No matter how many people are in the car, it's just 20 dollars. 🎉 👗After parking, you can directly enter the scenic area without any additional entrance fees for the mountain. It felt like a great deal! We headed straight to the hiking entrance.🌸🌺 As soon as we went in, we saw a lot of people climbing, so we just followed suit (The entrance is via the Cherokee Trail on map P1!). 🚢I originally thought it would be super tiring, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy to walk!💦 📍The whole journey is centered around a huge boulder, but the path is actually quite smooth. There are no super - steep sections where you'd have to use both your hands and feet. We took photos along the way and reached the summit in about forty minutes.🚢 On the way up, we met quite a few families hiking together.📚👗 🎉🎉There were kids, grandparents, and even some brave souls carrying portable speakers... We kept getting overtaken by other people's kids while walking. It was so embarrassing, haha!📍 The wind at the summit was extremely strong, and it completely woke me up. 🏞️ The view was just amazing! You could see the Atlanta skyline in the distance, along with vast expanses of green land. 🌿 Suddenly, I felt that a bit of sun exposure in the morning was all worth it. For the descent, we chose to take the cable car. 🌸🌺 We reached the bottom in just a few minutes and got to enjoy the scenery along the way. 💙💙The whole itinerary felt perfectly arranged - a bit of exercise on the way up and some relaxation on the way down. We also successfully avoided the peak - hour crowds.📚 🏞️#AtlantaWeekend #AtlantaDayTrips #StoneMountain
