Dawn
Despite what the park ranger might suggest, climbing that mountain before dawn is a very good thing.
Four hours before the tram will even begin operating... No crowds of tourists to ruin the dawn. Wonderful quiet. Wake up early, drink lots of coffee, grab your camera! There's this whole world before 8:30am I had no idea existed. |

Nice! Where is that?
Here are two of my own from last month. Dawn on Mt. David in Lewiston ME. There was a balloon festival, so it was worth getting up there by 6AM for a good view of the town. |

So was the hike a difficult one? You know, not like it was Everest or anything like that, but first thing in the morning hiking is different from hiking when you've had a chance to wake up and start the day with a regular routine. |

Stone Mountain is an easy walk up as long as the summer sun isn't beating down on you -- the bare, white granite is very reflective and you'll burn to a crisp. The last 1/8th is pretty steep but if I can make it up, anyone can.
The most difficult part is being confronted with this telephone pole at the start of the trail. I guess you're going to want to spit out that gum before beginning your ascent... |

Better to stick it there than have it stuck all over the granite path going up the mountain.

Please don't further my belief that all Americans are slack-jawed masticators, chewing insouciantly at everything from a funeral to an orgy...
(okay, I've just watched too much MTV One, I know it's not a true reflection of US society any more than Jessica Simpson is a typical American woman)
