If you’re visiting the Atlanta area and want to escape the city,? relax with a? scenic drive through the rural farmlands southwest of the city. The drive itself is a loop of about 30 miles that takes an hour.
The route will take you through the Cochran Mill Park, complete with hiking trails, waterfalls and a nature center, if you’d like to picnic along the way or just can’t bear to go back to the rat race.
