Atlanta Beltline Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

In total, the Atlanta Beltline Trail covers roughly 22 miles of varying terrain. This section is basically all pavement and super smooth gravel (smooth enough for skinny tires). That being said, be careful at the bridges since there will sometimes be a bump on and off the bridge due to the dirt being washed out.

Stone Mountain

Highlight • Natural Monument

Stone Mountain, located in Stone Mountain, Georgia, is both a natural landmark and a site of historical significance. The mountain, a massive quartz monzonite dome, is famous for its large bas-relief carving depicting Confederate leaders Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. This carving, completed in 1972, is a point of contention due to its association with the Confederacy and its use as a symbol by white supremacist groups. The mountain and its surrounding park have a deeply, complex history. In 1915, the second iteration of the Ku Klux Klan was revived at Stone Mountain, marking it as a symbolic site for the organization. Throughout the mid-20th century, the area served as a rallying point for segregationists. The carving itself was initiated by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1916 and faced numerous delays, with its completion aligning with the Civil Rights Movement's peak, further intensifying its controversial status. Today, Stone Mountain is a popular recreational destination. Stone Mountain Park, encompasses over 3,200 acres, offers a variety of activities. Visitors can hike the Walk-Up Trail to the summit, providing panoramic views of the Atlanta skyline and surrounding areas. The park features a scenic railroad, a 5-mile loop trail for biking and walking, and a variety of other trails catering to different skill levels.
