Tray Mountain, Mountain summit in Georgia, United States.
Description
Tray Mountain is a summit in Georgia reaching approximately 4,429 feet (1,349 meters), featuring a broad rocky top with open views across multiple directions through forest gaps. The terrain transitions from wooded slopes to an exposed peak area.
History
During the 1800s, a dairy operation occupied a grassy valley near the mountain, locally known as the Cheese Factory. This facility represented early agricultural settlement in the region.
Culture
The Appalachian Trail crossing this summit serves as a gathering point where long-distance hikers exchange stories and forge connections during their extended journeys.
Practical
The western approach via Tray Mountain Road from GA 75 features a well-maintained gravel path suitable for regular vehicles, while the eastern route requires high-clearance or off-road vehicles. Plan your access method based on your vehicle type before visiting.
Did you know?
The final ascent passes through a natural tree archway that hikers affectionately call the Hobbit Hole, creating an enclosed tunnel sensation. This distinctive woodland passage feels sheltered and magical just before reaching the open summit.
