Backroading is the only acceptable way to experience the real Georgia. The rural domain of this fourth original state will captivate your every sense because every road takes off in the direction of new discovery. No question about it, exploration of this back country is the only way to experience the entire State of Adventure.
Rewarding encounters with nature await at every turn, whether you are winding your way through the mountains on Russell Scenic Highway or pointed downcoast via the Wiregrass Parkway of the midlands. Still, the real flavor comes out of the small towns and crossroads settlements along the way. Whenever these chance meetings occur, and they will quite often, stop and become enriched by yet another new discovery.
Though Georgians have bragging rights to the largest state east of the Mississippi, geographic diversity rather than size is what truly sets it apart from all others. An astounding 159 counties spread across nearly 60,000 square miles of mountains and piedmont, plains and seacoast, ancient wetlands and one of the country's fastest growing metro regions.
Diversity such as this is understood best by the simple realization that one can awaken in Chatsworth near Fort Mountain, enjoy a leisurely lunch in modern metro Atlanta and later savor an early evening low-country boil along Savannah's riverfront, without breaking any speed laws.
