Helen, Georgia rules. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. (In case you haven’t heard us say it before then check this out: This Underrated Town Just Might Be The Most Beautiful Place In Georgia.) But besides Helen, Georgia being an absolutely stunning place to live and visit, there are also a tremendous amount of things to do there that you’ll pretty much never run out.
For those of you who aren’t aware, Helen is a tiny town right in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We say tiny, because when you compared it to places like Atlanta, having 1,000 residents is pretty darn tiny. Yet, many assume that because it’s so small, it’s not worth visiting. I have to say, I can easily disprove that assumption in 12 photos or less.
