North Georgia Weekends
$79
You want to get out of Atlanta for a weekend. Then you open 14 tabs, read 6 blogs, and still don't know where to eat Saturday night.
I did that part for you. North Georgia Weekends is five complete Friday-to-Sunday trips, built from places I go myself and send my own people to. Every stop has a time, a reason and a backup. Pick a weekend, book the room, and go.
The five weekends:
Clayton: big views and a small town. Tallulah Gorge, Black Rock Mountain and a walkable Main Street.
Blue Ridge: a cabin, a train ride and Main Street.
Helen: the waterfall weekend. Raven Cliff Falls, Anna Ruby Falls and an alpine town.
Lavonia: the lake weekend, and the easiest drive in the guide.
Ellijay: the apple weekend. Orchards, fried pies, cider and a vineyard sunset.
Every weekend comes with:
A Saturday planned hour by hour, plus Friday night and Sunday
Three places to stay for three kinds of trips, with one tap to check rates
A rain plan and kid swaps for every stop
A weekend budget, so you know the cost before you go
One tap to every stop in Google Maps
Also inside:
"Which weekend is right for you?" and a month-by-month "When to go" calendar
A packing list for every season
Bonus: the North Georgia Playbook, a $39.99 value, included free
It's a phone-friendly PDF, 43 pages, made to use in the car and on the trail. You get it instantly after checkout.
Every trail hiked, every restaurant eaten at, every drive timed by me. Nothing in here is pulled from a list.
FAQ
Do I need to be an experienced hiker?
No. Every hike is rated for real effort, and every weekend has a kid swap and a rain plan, so you can dial the day up or down for your crew.
Is this only for people in Atlanta?
Drive times are listed from Atlanta, but every stop has a one-tap Google Maps link, so you can route from anywhere.
How do I get it?
Instant download the second you buy. Save it to your phone before you head up, since service gets spotty in the mountains.
Saturdays, Playbook or Weekends?
Saturdays is five day trips, planned for you. The Playbook teaches you to plan any trip yourself. Weekends is five full Friday-to-Sunday trips with lodging, budgets and backups, and it includes the Playbook. If you want to book a room and go, this is the one.
