Everyone loves to hit a good hiking trail, but often it can be limiting if you need to measure the time of the trail to when the sun sets, or the park closes. But what if we told you that there is a hiking trail in Georgia that allows you to spend the night in the middle of nature, with some of the most stunning views in the entire state? Take a look at this overnight hike, which will easily be one of the coolest things you do this summer.
The Arkaquah Trail at Brasstown Bald is one of the most coveted hiking experiences in Georgia.
Overall, the Arkaquah Trail will take hikers to Track Rock Gap, which is an ancient archaeological place still brimming with petroglyphs from over 1,000 years ago.
The Arkaquah Trail clocks it at around 12 miles total, but hands down will give you the best overnight camping experience, not to mention the most stunning views in all of Georgia.
