PHOTO ES SA Y At 4,784 feet above sea level, Brasstown Bald is Georgia's highest point. From the photographer: " I took the short half-mile trail to the summit rather than the shuttle, and was rewarded with not only a nice workout, but also the aromatic scents along the trail and the ultimate reward once I reached the observation deck up top-the cool summer air and breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding North Georgia mountains.
