Active seniors, fall is the perfect season when the leaves turn, creating a beautiful picturesque view. Join us for a memorable train ride through the North Georgia Blue Ridge, where you can immerse yourself in serenity and enjoy the breathtaking mountainous fall scenery. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded 'active' seniors and enjoy some fantastic senior adventures with ASA friends!
This day trip begins at the historic depot in downtown Blue Ridge, GA. We will take the Express train (which does not stop in Tennessee) on a two-hour round trip, covering 26 miles along the Toccoa River, showcasing the stunning North Georgia countryside.
We will gather at 10 am in Gwinnett County (details will be provided) to travel together by bus or van, depending on the number of attendees. After arriving in Blue Ridge, we’ll enjoy lunch (at your own expense) at one of the fine southern restaurants. If time permits, we’ll stroll around the city before boarding the train, where we will ride through the forest back to the depot in Blue Ridge, Georgia.
