That allows me to do pretty much everything in the area of the carving plus the Antebellum Plantation & Farmyard which I really didn’t have the time to do.Īfter buying my pass and getting my ridiculously large armband, I headed to the left to go ride the Summit Skyride. I walked up to the ticket booths after parking my car and saw that there were different pass combinations based on what you wanted to do so I chose the Adventure Pass for $24.95 plus tax. First off when I arrived, I had to pay a $10 parking fee, I told the parking attendant where I wanted to go and she gave me a map detailing where everything was and pointed me in the right direction. I couldn’t spend the whole day here so I didn’t do everything the park has to offer as that would have taken at least a day or two to accomplish but I did do just about everything within the vicinity of the famous carving and it was well worth the time and money. I would plan at least one full day here as there’s more to do than just see the carving and there’s a on site hotel and camping facilities if you want to stay the night. There are two ways to reach the summit, one is by an aerial tram called the Summit Skyride and the other is a one-mile hike up the west side of the hill. According to Wikipedia, the hill is 1,686 feet above sea-level, 825 feet above the surrounding ground, and more than 5 miles in circumference. This natural feature is located near the town of Stone Mountain which is on the eastern side of Atlanta, Georgia, USA and is the worlds largest granite outcropping and is actually classified as a hill, and not a mountain.
