Calbeck Road

If a beautiful mountaintop drive is what you are looking for, then look no further. Hidden inside the Armuchee area of the Chattahoochee National Forest, just west of Calhoun, lies Calbeck Road. What starts as your basic forest road surrounded by thick green trees leads to a unique, open clearing on the top of Calbeck Mountain. Stunning views overlook the Dry Creek Valley you just drove through to get here all the way across to the peaks of 1780-foot Horn Mountain. Stretching 17 miles, Horn Mountain is the eastern wall of The Pocket, a popular and geographically unique recreation area. Whether you are out to see the bright blue skies against the green mountain tops in the summer, the beautiful colors of fall, or watch a storm move in during the spring, Calbeck Road is one you'll remember for its beauty.
