Antique trains let you easily visit surrounding towns via the ​​Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. Ellijay, also known as Georgia’s Apple Capital, is surrounded by the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and welcomes visitors to the mountain region. Its historic downtown offers access to local wineries and restaurants that feature local agriculture.

It’s a great time of year to hike, admire the fresh foliage, and breathe in the fresh spring air.
