It's no secret that Stone Mountain is one of the most popular attractions in Georgia. This work of art on a stunning natural rock formation is impressive to see in person and definitely worth a visit if you've never been. The bas-relief sculpture can be seen on foot, and you can also experience a climb up to the very top of Stone Mountain via a trail if you're looking for a workout. But one of our favorite ways to enjoy the park is by taking in an open-air Stone Mountain train ride that will give you a unique vantage point of this mighty monolith. Take a ride on the Stone Mountain Scenic Railroad in Georgia.

Stone Mountain is a gorgeous natural quartz formation that measures 1,686 feet above sea level and 825 feet around the area surrounding it. It's a popular tourist destination that's a great area for camping and hiking.

The rock is famously home to a large stone carving of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson, three notable leaders of the Confederacy.
