From enjoying Georgia’s fall fairs and festivals to picking apples and visiting a pumpkin patch to find the perfect one to take home and carve into a Jack-O-Lantern, there’s a good reason why this is so many people’s favorite season.
It’s particularly magical when the fall foliage in Georgia transforms with brilliant shades of red, yellow, and orange. The temperature is just right for exploring the endless natural beauty and outdoor attractions the state has got to offer.
One of the most notable signs that autumn in Georgia has arrived is when the leaves start to transform into those fabulous warm-toned hues.
If you’re looking for a place to see the changing fall colors at their most dynamic, Brasstown Bald should be #1 on your list.
Towering 4,784 feet above the incredible 867,000-acre Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest, Brasstown Bald is the tallest mountain in Georgia. This makes it a great vantage point for eyeing all of the colorful fall foliage.
After a short, steep .55-mile hike up the mountain (or a quick trip on the shuttle bus) you’ll reach a viewing platform that offers breathtaking 360-degree views. On a clear day, you can see Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee! Check out more great spots here.

With the kids out of school, you can head out to explore our great state- either for a great day trip, or a quick weekend getaway. Many of the Georgia state parks have areas to camp – in the traditional sense, or with cabins, cottage and more. We personally want to check out the yurts at Tugaloo State Park (See Below!)
