A good hike is just a short, easy drive away at Yonah Mountain

There’s an easy drive between those quads of yours and Yonah Mountain, one of North Georgia’s best and more-accessible hikes. Yonah Mountain sits about 45 minutes north of Gainesville between Cleveland and Helen via a route that has none of the brake-melting twists and turns you see on the way to Blood Mountain or Raven Cliff Falls. If you’re a car person or enjoy nauseating your family and friends, those other two hikes are for you.
