12 days in Atlanta & Laguna Beach Itinerary

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Tennessee Riverpark and Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail. Take a break from the city and head to Fishing Charters & Tours and Chastain Park. Venture out of the city with trips to Sweetwater Creek State Park (in Lithia Springs) and Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Distillery (in Chattanooga). There's still lots to do: learn the secrets of beer at a beer tour and tasting, don't miss a visit to The King Center, get the adrenaline pumping with an extreme tour, and get to know the fascinating history of Silver Comet Trail.
