Stone Mountain Park , which combines natural splendor with a creepy Confederate nostalgia - Confederate laser light show anyone? (The rebel flag, for instance, still flies at the mountain's base, and the trio of Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis are carved into the mountain's side.) If you're up for a climb, skip the Crossroads area (a tourist-trap cluster of old-timey shops) and hike to the summit for a lovely city view. Camping and basic hotel accommodations are available in the park.
