Overview

About halfway between Suches and Dahlonega lies Appalachian Blue Ridge Road, one of the most scenic non-paved drives in all of Georgia. This trail follows along the famous Appalachian Trail the entire way and is the connector route from Hightower Gap to Coopers Gap. Looking to the north you will find spectacular views of the valley and mountains for most of the way, especially in the winter months when there are no leaves on the trees blocking the view. With camping areas throughout and small parking areas at both ends of this trail, Appalachian Blue Ridge Road is perfect for campers, day hikers, or anyone looking for an easy scenic drive through the mountains.
