What’s the most scenic route from Asheville to Atlanta?

I have a short trip coming up from my hometown of Asheville, North Carolina to attend a friend’s wedding in Atlanta, Georgia. I know it’s not the longest drive, but I’m hoping to make the most of the journey. What is the most scenic route I can take to Atlanta from Asheville?

There are lots of beautiful sights to see between these two Southern cities! The best scenic route from
Asheville
to
Atlanta
is along the Blue Ridge Parkway and then along Georgia’s Scenic Highway 197.
The Blue Ridge Parkway will offer you breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. Once you cross into Georgia, Scenic Highway 197 will take you from Clayton to Clarkesville, passing by unique shops and stunning lake and mountain views along the way.
Here’s are some of the top rest stops and some of the best views along Scenic Highway 197:
  • Stone Mountain Park
  • Anna Ruby Falls
  • Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies
  • Tallulah Gorge
Some of these roads close due to poor weather, so be sure to check your route before heading out! You’ll also want to double-check your car insurance before hitting the streets for your road trip.
