Scenic Drives in North Georgia

Few places offer mountain road magic like North Georgia. Wind through the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains, cruise by waterfalls, and take in sweeping valley views on some of the Southeast’s most beautiful scenic drives. Travel the Russell-Brasstown Scenic Byway near Blairsville, explore the famous GA-60 from Blue Ridge to Dahlonega, or enjoy a peaceful country route through Ellijay’s apple orchards. Near Helen, the drive to Unicoi Gap is especially breathtaking in fall, while Big Canoe and Lake Arrowhead offer quiet, tree-lined roads perfect for a slow, scenic cruise. Wherever you go, stay with Southern Comfort Cabin Rentals and experience the views right from your doorstep.

View the sights, wildlife, and beautiful landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains year-round from the comfort of your car on a scenic driving tour. From a central location like one of our Blue Ridge cabins, many guests will tour North Georgia, East Tennessee, and Western North Carolina.
