One of the absolute best ways to see experience some of the Peach State’s best fall foliage is by taking one of the extraordinary scenic train rides in Georgia. If you don’t want to plan an intense road trip excursion, this is solid idea to consider. Climb aboard this wonderfully historic and creative way to take a trip this autumn and see all there is to see from the comfort of a train. All aboard the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway!
Taking an autumn adventure on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway in Georgia truly is the fall event of the year - and it's one of the best train rides in Georgia.
The Fall Foliage train rides begin at the end of September and run all the way through the beginning of November, which provides peak timing to witness the leaves changing colors.
