Everyone loves a good fall hike—the leaves changing into beautiful hues of autumn, the crisp cool air, the sunsets that seem to coat the sky forever. But there is one particular Georgia hike that is so surreally breathtaking, everything seems like it’s shimmering red and glistening gold. If there is one fall hike you tackle this year then make sure it’s this one.
Fort Mountain State Park is one of the most beautiful places to witness the leaves changing in Georgia.

The Fort Mountain Trail clocks in at around 1.5 miles round trip and will be the best way to see everything shining red this fall season.

Not only will you be privy to insanely gorgeous overlook views, but you’ll get in one heck of a workout, too.

Begin at the trailhead on top of the mountain and carve your way through the mountainside.

You’ll pass through a variety of landscapes throughout the trail, but do not fear gaining elevation.

Because views from the top will be oh-so-worth it.
