It takes you to the charming town of Blue Ridge, Georgia, where you can ride a scenic railway, wander through antique shops and boutiques, or reward yourself with a locally made ice cream!
Your active pursuits include hiking through pristine trails and waterfalls at what is considered to be one of the seven natural wonders of Georgia. You will get a bird's eye view of the Chattahoochee National Forest at Fort Mountain State Park, and take a fun bike ride at Talking Rock Nature Preserve in North Georgia.
