Have you ever wanted to get some climbing experience without the crowds and the heat of the Georgia summer?
Mount Yonah, in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area outside of Helen in northeast Georgia, makes an ideal place to perfect your climbing skills during January, February, and March.
Mount Yonah, more correctly Yonah Mountain, is named for the Cherokee word for "bear." The 3,166-foot, granite mountain is popular with climbers year-round, but the summit and climbing routes are particularly beautiful (and uncrowded) in the winter months.
