Follow This 8-Mile Trail In Georgia To An Incredibly Beautiful Overlook

You can find so many wonderful trails in the Georgia mountains. It’s the perfect area for exploring beautiful surroundings while getting a workout at the same time. One of our favorite trails is a little on the challenging side, but for experienced hikers, it is more than worth the difficulty. The mighty Rabun Bald via the Bartram Trail is an incredible eight-mile adventure that will have you remembering just how beautiful Georgia can be. The views at the end are absolutely magnificent no matter what season it is.

The trail itself is quite magical. It's quite a lengthy trek, at just under four hours for most hikers, but walking through the woods here is a magical experience.

You'll pass by a beautiful waterfall, so locals should feel right at home! The trail is in Rabun County, which is famous for being home to 33 waterfalls!

Once you do make it to the top, you'll be treated to an incredible view. There's even a deck so that you can enjoy the panoramic scene.

On a clear day, you can see many of the tallest mountains in Georgia from the observation deck.

Most of the trail is pretty wooded, so coming out to such a wide-open space like this is a bit of a shock.

At 8.1 miles in length, this isn't a trail for inexperienced hikers, but the view is certainly incredible if you're up for the challenge.

What season would you prefer to hike the Rabun Bald via Bartram Trail? We gotta say, those spring views all decked out in green are pretty spectacular!
