We got up to a beautiful, cold morning and headed for the Waffle House. It took another hour or so to make it to the mountain. We were the only car in the big parking lot. It was a brisk 15 minute hike up to the summit (the tower was closed for the season), the whole time in a shower of ice crystals falling from the thawing trees.
At 4784', Brasstown Bald is the highest point in Georgia. We could see north to the Smokies and Mount Mitchell (I think) and I suppose as far as the Atlanta suburbs to the south. What an absolutely perfect morning to come up here!
