9 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 out of town with these interesting Blue Ridge side-trips: Cades Cove (in Great Smoky Mountains National Park), Highlands (Bust Your Butt Falls & Dry Falls) and Ocoee (Adventures Unlimited & River Rafting & Tubing). There's much more to do: experience rural life at Mercier Orchards, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Whiteside Mountain, cast your line with a fishing tour, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Aska Trails.

For traveler tips, reviews, more things to do, and more tourist information, you can read our Blue Ridge road trip planning website .

In October, plan for daily highs up to 70°F, and evening lows to 48°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 14th (Mon) to allow enough time to travel back home.
