Black Rock Mountain

 

Black Rock Mountain is Georgia's highest elevation state park, and the beauty here is hard to beat. The overlooks here are breathtaking, and sometimes even when one can't see very well into the distance (most mornings when it is foggy), the view is still awesome. I was able to capture some great moments during one of those times where the fog enhanced the view. This is favorite park and I have many pictures from here on multiple trips. I didn't take many pictures here this time since I already have so many pictures from the various attractions from previous trips. Most of these pictures are from the Cowee Overlook (above) and the others are from around the campsite.

Chenocetah Fire Tower

 

This is the historic Chenocetah Fire Tower located in Cornelia, Georgia. Like the fire tower at Fort Mountain, this one was also locked up tight. This is another beautiful example of how some fire towers were both functional and also very pleasing aesthetically. Despite not being able to see the inside, I'm still glad to have visited this location. Some things just need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. A view of Lake Russell below the tower was equally impressive. The grounds of this location are kept impressively clean and neat. Some masonry work needs done, but this is to be expected from a property this old. This is definitely worth spending the time driving to.
