Met a local hiker at the top. Had a great conversation of how they started out in NJ and their path to end up here. One lucky individual to live minutes from Stone Mountain.


This is the easy trail to the top. The stark beauty of the rock face is amazing. The weathering of the rocks always interests me. You can see much of the storm damage to the forest. The last few seconds, I zoom in on the horizon. Soon, I'll cover the rest of the trail.
