PLC Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I lived in Atlanta for five years during grad school and immediately afterwords... there's lots to do within a couple hours, but you'll need a car: In the city, you should see the Aquarium, one of the best in the world. The Zoo is just OK. Little Five Points is a cool area to catch a concert or eat some food. You could go for a run around Piedmont Park or on the trails past the Jimmy Carter Center. The Ferndale Science Museaum is really cool. You could catch a game at the Ted, if you like baseball. While you're in the South, you definitely need to get some BBQ and some sweet tea. The best BBQ, and frankly the best food, I've ever had is at a place called Shuford's in Chattanooga, TN. It takes about 1:15 to drive there from Atlanta, but it is worth it. Best of all, it is located directly under Tennessee Wall, which is probably the best moderate trad climbing location in the country. Hundreds of 5.6-5.9 crack routes. All long, steep, with great protection. Besides T-Wall, you could head to Sandrock, AL or Foster's Falls, TN for sportclimbing, both are less than two hours away. There's also lots of great mountain biking just 45 minutes north of the city in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Oh yeah, Stone Mountain is a nice park, and the Calloway Gardens are amazing... Quote
olyclimber Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 in Dullus i recommend eating a lot of beef at one of the executive cowpoke bbq places, going to see where JFK got shot, and medicinal application of large quantities of alchohol Quote
minx Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 yeah, not so lucky, i'm going to the research triangle (raleigh for a quickie in a few weeks. fortunately, the company i'm visiting is keeping us busy while i'm there. Quote
racsom Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 If you end up going to Dallas and maybe Austin, there is some sport climbing (limestone) near downtown. It is pretty cool as a side trip and to visit Austin. http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/North_America/United_States/Texas/South_Central_Texas/Barton_Creek_Greenbelt/ Quote
