Where else can you see the world's largest hunk of exposed granite? You can't, because Atlanta has it right in their backyard. The face of the rock has a giant relief sculpture of Confederate leaders which is just cool. Of course a lot of us have never been to Mount Rushmore which is the only place to see a large sculpture like this. Stone mountain is also home to museums, hotels, and more outside recreation that you can shake a stick at. Make sure you take a ride on the railroad that goes around the entire piece of granite. Other highlights you don't want to miss is the nightly laser show that happens as darkness takes the park. And, check out the car museum if you're a car nut like me. Get ready to spend the day at the park unless you just stop in for the laser show at night - perfect for a date.
