What children learn in Level 29
- The Blue Ridge, in northeast Georgia, has the state's highest mountains. Brasstown Bald is the tallest of all.
- It's the coolest and rainiest region. Thick forests of oak, hickory, and maple grow on the mountains, and cold streams tumble over waterfalls.
- Black bears, white-tailed deer, salamanders, and trout live here. The Appalachian Trail starts at Springer Mountain in the Blue Ridge and runs all the way to Maine!
