North Georgia and Western North Carolina offer you a special welcome during the fall season. It is a place where the signs of the season never fail to dazzle. Balmy summer days are quietly replaced with a slight nip in the morning breeze. The mountains transform into amber hues, capturing the sunlight, while sleepy lakes and streams snare tumbling leaves.

The Southern Highroad Trail wanders through northern Georgia and western North Carolina with breathtaking views, friendly people and fun-filled activities. If you have the time you can tour the full 360 miles of The Highroad Trail winding through the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, four national forests and a variety of small mountain towns. Only 12 miles away is Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia, with an elevation of 4,784 feet and a 360 degree observation deck.

Other scenic highways are the remarkable Blue Ridge Parkway, a scenic two-lane highway in the sky and The Richard Russell Scenic Highway that takes you to the quaint Alpine Village of Helen, GA. And don’t forget “Apple Orchard Alley” out on highway 52 out of Ellijay, Ga.
