Come join us on a hike up Stone Mountain!!
A hike up the main Walk-Up Trail on Stone Mountain is about 1.3 miles one way, and a round trip takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on your pace and how much time you spend at the summit.
This trail spans approximately one mile and offers a moderate yet rewarding hike with an elevation gain of about 700 feet. As you make your way up, you’ll notice a consistent incline throughout the trail, with slightly steeper sections closer to the top.
Throughout your hike, you’ll be treated to glimpses of the surrounding natural splendor. The trail offers picturesque glimpses of the Atlanta skyline, showcasing the city’s towering buildings against the backdrop of the expansive sky. The sight of Stone Mountain Lake adds a touch of serenity to the landscape, as its tranquil waters mirror the surrounding beauty.
Reaching the summit of Stone Mountain rewards you with an expansive 360-degree view that stretches as far as the eye can see. Take a moment to soak in the magnificent sight of the Atlanta skyline and gaze upon the tranquil expanse of Stone Mountain Lake. In the distance, the silhouette of mountains adds a touch of grandeur to the horizon.
Whether you’re an avid nature lover, a photography enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of tranquility, the views along the Walk-Up Trail and at the mountain’s summit will leave you in awe. The beauty of the surroundings serves as a reminder of the wonders of the natural world and provides a picturesque backdrop for creating lasting memories with your family and friends.
We will meet at the base of the mountain by the restrooms. There is a $20 fee to enter the park or $40 yearly pass.
