Nate’s Blue Ridge Highlights
Sightseeing
Fantastic family activity! They are famous for their fried pies (supplier for iconic Atlanta restaurant, Varsity) and apple cider doughnuts (personal favorite). Make sure to walk through the apple orchards to soak in the great views!
Apple season: August - December
Go Early - it gets very crowded
