All aboooaaaarrrdd! This summer there is an opportunity for the whole family to climb aboard a wonderfully scenic mountain train in Georgia. It’s not the type of ride that will take all day, but will be long enough to take you throughout beautiful Stone Mountain, while enjoying the fresh air and majestic scenery. Take a look at the coolest train this side of the Mississippi.
Stone Mountain Park is a perfect place to visit during the summertime in Georgia.

The entire trip lasts around a half hour, and a new train leaves the station every 45 minutes or so.
