What children learn in Level 10
- The Blue Ridge is Georgia's mountain region, in the northeast. From far away, the mountains look blue!
- Brasstown Bald is Georgia's highest mountain. Amicalola Falls is the tallest waterfall. The Appalachian Trail starts here, too.
- In 1828, people found gold near Dahlonega. It was one of America's first gold rushes!
- Mountain weather is cooler. Farms grow apples, and visitors come to hike, camp, and see the leaves change color.
