Lake Hartwell
A massive man-made reservoir spanning the Georgia and South Carolina border with intricate shorelines.
Charlotte Skyline

Uwharrie National Forest
Dense rolling hills representing the remnants of one of the oldest mountain ranges in North America.
Sit on the left (Port) side for the best chance to see Stone Mountain shortly after departure. Morning flights are ideal as the sun remains to the south, providing clear lighting of the terrain and minimizing window glare. Keep an eye out for the distinct red clay earth of the Piedmont region.
