8 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).

Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Blue Ridge: The Lost Sea Adventure (in Sweetwater), Cades Cove (in Great Smoky Mountains National Park) and Old Jail Museum (in Hayesville). And it doesn't end there: whizz through the canopy at some of the top local zipline courses and adventure parks, experience rural life at Mercier Orchards, snap pictures at Toccoa River Swinging Bridge, and stroll through Morganton Point Recreation Area.
