Highpoint #12: Brasstown Bald, GA

8/27/2015

State: Georgia
Highpoint: Brasstown Bald
Elevation: 4786ft / 1459m 

On our trip to the Smoky Mountains, we went to the highest points of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Our first was Georgia's high point, Brasstown Bald, in the northeast area of the state. The original Cherokee name for the mountain is Enotah.


The trail leading up to Brasstown Bald was paved, about a half mile long, but there are longer trail options as well.






At the top there is an old fort with lookout towers and a large platform with panoramic views! This was our first view of the Smokeys  on our trip, so we spent a while up there just taking in the view.
This highpoint is very accessible, and the views at the top are gorgeous. We definitely recommend it if you're ever in Georgia!
