Brasstown Bald is one of the most magical places in Georgia. As the highest natural point in the state, it towers 4,784 feet over sea level, giving those who scale it the opportunity on a clear day to view four states. You can hike or drive to the top, making it an immensely popular spot to visit at any time of year. But on a cloudless night, it’s also one of the best areas for stargazing in Georgia. Being so high up in the air means it’s an ideal location to get a great view of the starry night sky.
