Kazbegi, a spectacular drive up the Georgian Military Highway in the Georgian Caucasus, was the highlight of my visit to Georgia. Mt. Kazbeg on one side and "Ear" mountain on the other give provide a great backdrop. Mtatsminda Zamemba church, perched on a hill over Kazbegi and in front of Mt. Kazbeg, was unbeatable in terms of setting. The walk north to the Russian border, along the Military Highway and through Dariali Gorge was also pretty nice.
