Georgia Hiking

Kick off Georgia hiking season with Atlanta’s most amazing hike. It’s called Monadnock Madness and it’s a brilliant combination of three glorious trails that will leave you in awe. Monadnock Madness takes hikers to the tops of Stone Mountain, Arabia Mountain and Panola Mountain for an unforgettable experience. Although you can choose to schedule the hikes throughout the month, I highly recommend joining the Triple Hike Challenge for the best experience. Click here to find out why I recommend Monadnock Madness as Atlanta’s most amazing hike, or just find out for yourself by registering for the event on the Monadnock Madness website.
