Whether you're a newcomer to Georgia or have lived here all your life, this episode of Georgia Outdoors will provide for you an overview of what an ecologically diverse state Georgia is. We'll profile Georgia's must-see sights and must-do activities around the state.

We begin by exploring the high peaks, numerous hiking trails, and lush forests of the north Georgia mountains. Next we'll work our way across the rock outcrops of the piedmont and down to the sandy soils of south Georgia's coastal plain.

Along the way, we'll show you some can't-miss locations for the Georgia newcomer such as Providence Canyon, nicknamed "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon", the fabled Okefenokee Swamp, and the protected barrier islands of the Georgia coast.
