The Oglethorpe Mountain Trail in Eagle's Rest Park is one of the most underrated trails in the state.
One thing you can always expect to find along this trail is great mountaintop views from various wooden overlooks throughout.
While some people choose a day where the sun is shining high in the sky, others choose to visit after rainfall for a foggy-ethereal hike.
The wooden decks around the mountain offer different vantage points, each over 3,000-feet in elevation.
Just imagine how far you can see when you’re that high up off the ground.
Plus, during your visit to Eagle’s Rest, there is a relatively new Cherokee Indian exhibit that depicts early Indian culture in the Southeast.
