Not all summer getaways need to be far-flung adventures. In less than two hours, one can be careening 70 feet in the air over rivers and through the woods on a zip line canopy tour or take a peaceful tube float down the Chattahoochee or tangoing in Piedmont Park as alternatives. And, don’t count out a new experience at an old favorite — Geyser Towers at Stone Mountain Park.
