One of the best aspects of exploring the natural landscapes within Georgia is that there are so many unique places to choose from, each with their own beauty. Whether you’re hiking through Providence Canyon and getting a taste of the canyon-life, or wandering through a waterfall hike, you’ll have plenty of outdoor spots in Georgia to keep you busy.  But perhaps one of the coolest spots to consider is right atop Arabia Mountain in Georgia, where the moon-like landscape will make you feel like you’re on another planet.

In case you didn’t know, Atlanta has three giant monadnocks within city limits, one of which is the famed Arabia mountain.
