Venture through a tunnel & over three trestles on your magical rail-trail journey from Atlanta, GA to the Alabama border
This trail has it all. In addition to all the categories listed above, the trail also welcomes inline skaters and wheelchairs. And at over 60 miles in length, you'll have logged 120 miles round trip, so make plans to stay in either Rockmart or Cedartown because that's a lot of trail for one day. But wait... There's more. Because if you add the Chief...

A GUTS trail race at Fort Mountain State Park.
Mystery Mountain Marathon is a race which takes place in October at Fort Mountain State Park outside of Chatsworth, Georgia. Run by GUTS (Georgia Ultrarunning and Trailrunning Society), this race features an awesome, but tough course with stunning views and plenty of scenery.

Fort Pulaski is a very interesting fort which I have visited a few times - today's agenda was to arrive at low tide, hike around the north side of the fort and head out to the Cockspur Island Lighthouse which lies just off the eastern tip of the island. Note that there is an admission fee charged by the National Park Service to get on the island. The hike was wonderful with...
