Brasstown Bald is the highest point in Georgia. The view is amazing! There is a small museum at the top. Due to virus, the bus from the parking lot is not running and you have to walk up a paved path. I believe they have a shuttle for handicapped or people unable to walk up. A must see if you are in the area!
