Georgia on My Mind - Brasstown Bald
The total eclipse was over but the mini-family reunion continued. My sister and brother-in-law have vacationed for years in northern Georgia and now live here — so they are excellent tour guides. At the summit, you will encounter the park's Visitor's Center with wonderful views of the surrounding hills and valleys. At one point, this was the location of a park service observation station for spotting fires in the forest area. That function was moved to a nearby peak making room for this current building which provides plenty of opportunities for visitors to enjoy this spot. In addition to the observation deck, there is a small museum plus a theater showing a movie with information about the history, flora, fauna and the seasonal changes found at this spot. Interestingly, the winter is surprisingly cold and the summit is closed at that time of year.
