Watch The Sunset At Brasstown Bald A Unique High Peak In Georgia

Are you looking for a great place to watch the sunset in Georgia?

Without a doubt, the top of Brasstown Bald is the very best spot for this activity. It’s located in the northeastern corner of the state, near where North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee meet. This mountain is about two hours north of Atlanta.

If you’re anywhere in the state of Georgia or close, a visit to Brasstown Bald – known to the local, native Cherokee people as Enotah – is well worth your time and effort. The sunsets you view from its peak will be some that you will never forget.

Brasstown Bald is the highest point in Georgia at 4,784’. You can hike to the top if you’d like, or you can drive if you prefer.

At the top, you’ll find the Brasstown Bald Visitor’s Center. Inside, you can view and experience 8,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits about natural history and culture. There’s a gift shop, too, if you’d like to buy a souvenir to commemorate your summit.

The mountaintop observatory is here too. The word “bald” in this mountain’s name is due to the fact that you can enjoy 360 degree, treeless views from ground level at the top. However, this observatory will enhance your experience even further.
