The Great Outsmores

If you’re not into seeing the peach drop, and want to see something spectacular on New Year’s eve, you can catch the best show in the North Georgia Mountains. This time of year, enchanting sunsets can be found near Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s highest peak. While a night hike to the summit can be special (with headlamps of course), an easier and nearly equal showing can be had from the South West corner of the parking lot.

Here’s a google earth view of the summit & parking lot looking Southwest over the Cohuttas and Cumberland Plateau:

I’ve had the chance to catch this one twice before, here’s a photo from the last outing:
