11 days in Blue Ridge Itinerary

A small resort town located in Georgia's "Historic High Country," Blue Ridge sits right on the national scenic trail that follows the Appalachian mountain range for over 3,300 km (2,100 mi).

Get in touch with nature at Walker Sisters' Cabin and Little Greenbrier School. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Noah Bud Ogle Cabin and Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Chickamauga Battlefield (in Fort Oglethorpe), Tuckaleechee Caverns (in Townsend) and Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Cades Cove, Clingmans Dome, & more). There's still lots to do: take some stellar pictures from Rock City, have some family-friendly fun at Cohutta Cove Mini Golf, let the river carry you with a rafting and tubing tour, and relax in the rural setting at Mercier Orchards.
