Winter is universally recognized as the park's premier hiking season: with leaves fallen from the hardwood trees, hikers enjoy vast, unobstructed panoramic views stretching miles across the 1,000-foot-deep limestone gorge. The 5-mile West Rim Loop delivers breathtaking cliffside viewpoints, while the Waterfalls Trail leads down a series of metal staircases into the canyon floor to Cherokee Falls and Hemlock Falls, which often form dramatic icicles and frozen sprays during cold snaps. Heated yurts, cozy cabins, and scenic overlook picnic areas make this an unforgettable day trip or weekend escape. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Stone Mountain Christmas & Winter Summit: 2 Million Lights & Scenic Skyride](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/stone-mountain-christmas-and-winter-summit-2-million-lights-and-scenic--listing-e2e36a4c15980e2f509d4f27) — Nov 7 – Jan 3 · 2:00 PM – 9:30 PM · Stone Mountain Park · All ages · From $40 · checked Nov 4.
