Mountain Traveler cover contest extended

Summer in the Northeast Georgia mountains is special, whether your favorite mountain activity is hiking on a trail, spending time on a lake or just enjoying the cool evening breezes. If you have a photograph that represents this beautiful time of year, it could be featured on the cover of The Mountain Traveler’s summer 2021 edition.

The Mountain Traveler is a full-color regional visitor and travel guide for Northeast Georgia.

Suggested subjects could include points of interest, natural features or scenic views. Photographs including people enjoying the surroundings will be given additional consideration.
