Hiking Stone Mountain, GA

Our first stop on the way back to Texas was Stone Mountain in Atlanta, GA. We only stopped for 1 night, took and hike and left the next day.

The mountain is a big rock that sticks out of the landscape high above the city of Atlanta. It's a 1.3 mile hike and takes about 30 minutes to get to the top. What a spectacular view!
Some sections were very steep and a hand railing was built for safety, but it was a short section near the top.
It was about 5:30 in the afternoon and the sun was going down. Also, it had been raining earlier in the day, so it was still partly cloudy and parts of the rock were wet. See Atlanta in the background as the sun is going down.

That was it! We hiked and left!
