Midtown Atlanta is an awesome place to live and play! You know how much I love showing and helping people call it home! But we (myself would be at the TOP of the list) often overlook what there can be to see and do when we get out of our comfort zone. It might be Midtown Atlanta, or maybe it’s that fear of crossing that line called OTP –Outside The Perimeter!

This morning, a friend on Facebook posted a question about places to go hiking, without the couple hour drive to the North Georgia Mountains. And what a find, I did find!

Atlanta’s Best Hiking Trails

First off, that photo is NOT from one of these locations, but from my home state of Montana! But, one of the answers on this person’s Facebook wall was a link to a site called Atlanta Trails! Like, WOW…who knew about this? Ok I’m sure some of you outdoorsies types did, but I did not! But a particular page on the site had me most intrigued…and amazed at some of the places that are probably 30 minutes from the comfort of your Midtown condo!

The Top 10 Favorite Hikes

I’m really amazed at some of these places. Now, I’ve got some knee issues so I’m not sure how viable some of these would be for me, but I was especially intrigued by #2 Arabia Mountain Top Trail! I mean, 23 miles and 30 minutes from the urban core of Atlanta and you find this? WOW!

 

Let’s just say, you’ll be seeing a blog post with some photos of this one, as I hope to enjoy it in the next few days!

So, hey…when you are sitting in your condo, bored and don’t know what to do….get out and experience nature and it’s wonders just 30 minutes from your parking garage!
