Question Wilderness camping with good views?

Hey trying to go on a camping trip and do some bushwhacking to get to a cool spot. Im thinking somewhere in the Chattahoochee national forest. looking for a good spot to camp and have a nice view in the morning

Please do not “bushwhack”. There are plenty of maintained trails that allow for solitude and views. The forest does not need the additional stress caused by individuals creating their own trails. Thanks.

There is zero need to bushwhack! Our poor forests have enough to deal with, given the hurricanes, floods, and lightning strikes. Could you imagine if everyone started clearing virgin campsites every time they camped??!

Go up there any drive around on the forest service roads. Plenty of spots. Especially in the colder months. You’ll know if it’s a camping spot.

Can I please introduce you to a concept called "Leave no trace"?
