WINTER IS AN IDEAL TIME FOR OPTIMAL VIEWS AT GEORGIA STATE PARKS AND HISTORIC SITES

Winter is an ideal time for optimal views at Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites, indicates Kim Hatcher, Public Affairs Coordinator. She adds that along with open views, visitors may find it easier to make reservations; those parks were overwhelmed with leaf-peepers throughout the Fall.

Hatcher encourages the public to visit www.gastateparks.org for information about parks and historic sites around the state, reservations, gift ideas for the holidays, and upcoming events.

Today, December 1st, marks the start of meteorological Winter. Astronomical Winter begins on December 21st.
