35 Natural Wonders of Georgia to See before You Die
The expression “natural wonders” can often conjure images of far-flung destinations like the Grand Canyon, the peaks of the Rockies, or Niagara Falls. Yet Georgia, the largest state east of the Mississippi, is home to a wealth of wonders that rival any found beyond its borders. Such wonders include the Altamaha River, Georgia’s own untamed Amazon; Providence Canyon, the “little Grand Canyon”; Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s highest peak and only cloud forest; and the vast, hauntingly beautiful Okefenokee Swamp.
Based on noted science journalist Charles Seabrook’s personal bucket list and artist Ann Litrel’s insightful watercolors and sketches, 35 Natural Wonders of Georgia to See before You Die offers a fresh take on Georgia’s natural beauty in the tradition of naturalists such as John James Audubon and William Bartram. Each of the thirty-five sites is introduced by paintings, field sketches, artist notes, and elegant science writing that highlight its unique attributes. The book captures the beauty and rich natural history of Georgia’s biological and geological treasures—inspiring leisure travelers, nature enthusiasts, and art lovers to explore these places on their own.
