The Blue
Ridge Mountains
are 1+ billion years
old — among the oldest
mountain ranges in the U.S.
The Cherokee who once
lived here called them
“The Great Blue
Hills of
God.”

Created

in 1931, Vogel
State Park is the
2nd oldest state park
in Georgia (and one
of the most
popular!).
Home
to Georgia’s
only “cloud forest,”
Brasstown Bald is
continually soaked from
the moisture of
the clouds.
Choestoe, an unincorporated area south
of Blairsville, was known to the Cherokee
as the “rabbit place” or “land of dancing
rabbits.” You will impress the locals
pronounce it
