Travel Along The Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains In Georgia

For residents of Georgia, it’s no surprise that the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains were just listed as one of the most beautiful places in the world by U.S. News Travel. This comprehensive list of coveted world travel spots sure does have some spectacularly beautiful places to visit, like the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland to Angel’s Falls in Venezuela. And while there are plenty of U.S. states that did not make the list, we are happy to represent part of the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia.

The Blue Ridge Mountains run through various states from Pennsylvania all the way through Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina before ending in Northern Georgia.

This iconic mountain range is part of the Appalachian Mountains, which means you know that seeing this range in person is sure to be a spectacular sight.

Extending 550 miles southwest from southern Pennsylvania, the Blue Ridge Mountains offer breathtaking views, an abundance of hiking trails, waterfalls, friendly people, and bustling mountain towns.

Driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, you’ll see a variety of scenes from lush, vibrant greens in the spring, to golden hues of amber and oranges during the fall.

In fact, the Blue Ridge Mountains happen to be one of the most stunning spots to visit during autumn, and leaf peepers flock to Georgia every year to get a front row seat.

If you have some time and wish to make a full road trip out of this mountain range (which many people do every year) then you’ll pass along some pretty extraordinary places, like the Linn Cover Viaduct for instance.

Traveling down this mountain range during spring and summer might just yield some epic views of water too, from various streams and a few major rivers like the Roanoke, James, and Potomac.

Once you spend some time exploring this iconic mountain range, stopping at the overlooks and taking in a sunset or two, you’ll understand why it has been named one of the most beautiful places in the entire world.
