This place is more of a greasy spoon than a foodie fave, but its ambiance is authentically 1970's diner and it's SUPER famous for being the in almost every movie that's ever featured a 70's dinner (fan of Pulp Fiction, Ozark, etc). And, it's walking distance from the AirBnB.

The main trail is a quick 45-60 mins with a good little incline for the glutes. There are bunches of other trails if you want to stay out longer and explore. The main trail is very heavily used so it's a safe place for a lone hiker to get their workout on. There's a decent view at the top.

A bit touristy and you'll have to pay to park, but it's a unique experience to climb up the side of a giant rock. There's not much cover, so go early in the summer and wear hat/sunscreen and take water.

If the concrete jungle is more your hiking speed, the Atlanta Beltline is THE place to scooter, bike and walk it out, to see and be seen, and to stop for a drink and some patio side snacks.

More of a hang out than a hike, Piedmont Park is Atlanta's version of NYC's Central Park. It's the heartbeat of Midtown Atlanta and home to a festival or special event nearly every weekend between March and November. It's a great place to walk, run, bike, or rollerblade. There is a large dog park and a pool with day-rates for usage. There's a farmer's market every Saturday morning.
