Day 1: Today we depart on our southern journey. With stops for lunch and rest, arrival is planned for late afternoon in the mountain town of Blue Ridge, Georgia. We check into our hotel and then enjoy dinner on our own as we step into the heart of the downtown Blue Ridge, where the essence of quaintness and historic charm effortlessly blend with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Spend some time exploring and enjoying dinner on your own.
Day 2: This morning, after breakfast, we will board the Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad for a four-hour, round-trip train ride along the Toccoa River. Explore the charming Appalachian foothills of North Georgia and hear the historic background of the small towns we are passing through. We will enjoy a 2-hour layover in the small southern sister towns of McCaysville, Ga. and Copperhill, TN. Explore the many local shops and restaurants before boarding the train back to the depot in Blue Ridge. We will travel to Chattanooga and check into the Drury Hotel to enjoy an evening Kick Back Reception and the remainder of the evening at our leisure. B
Day 3: Before setting our sights for home we will take a ride on Missionary Ridge Local Railroad. The Missionary Ridge offers us a perfect “bitesize” train ride. Our journey will be a 6-mile, 55-minute round trip and will pack a lot of history into a compact timeframe. We will cross four bridges, passing through pre-Civil War, horseshoe-shaped tunnel, historic turntable demonstration, and a brief tour of train restoration shops. As we travel home, we will share memories of the delightful time we’ve had in amazing Chattanooga and beyond! We will stop in Knoxville to enjoy a luncheon at Calhoun’s Knoxville! B, L
