Atlanta is a beautiful city, but everyone needs to escape now and then. This site is dedicated to making that easier for you to do. There are so many hiking trails in and around Atlanta even we can’t mention them all, although we are going to make the attempt. All the hikes mentioned are within 2.5 hours of driving time from downtown Atlanta. Our belief is that you should spend more time on the trail than you do in the car so 5 hours of driving time is about our maximum. There are lots of great hikes which will take you more than 2.5 hours to get to but then you are probably looking at an overnight stay or a very long day.
Although you can probably do these hikes in a much shorter time than we say it will take, another one of our beliefs is that it’s not a race, take time to enjoy the scenery and nature and leave the rush hour to the city.
