whether you're looking for a distinctly local experience in Atlanta,you'll visit Arabia Mountain, located in the town of Lithonia outside the city. Arabia Mountain is Stone Mountain's cooler, or less crowded,and less controversial sibling (no massive accomplice memorial etched into the side). There's a lot of history behind this rock and its alien landscape, but just know that it's well worth the driveroughly 30 minutes from downtown Atlanta.
