CHASING AUTUMN: The South's Most Beautiful Fall Drives
Join Doug and Judy Hollandsworth on Sweet Tea Travels as we follow fall color from the highest peaks of the Southern Appalachians into the charming mountain towns of Georgia.
We're exploring Highlands and Cashiers, the Great Smoky Mountains, Clayton, Lake Burton, Hiawassee, Blue Ridge, McCaysville, and Ellijay — sharing scenic drives, mountain getaways, restaurants, shopping, and tips for knowing when to catch the best fall color.
Plus, special guest Jerry Brown, Executive Director of the Alpine Helen/White County Convention & Visitors Bureau, joins us to talk about Oktoberfest, Valhalla Resort & Golf Club, and everything that makes Helen a wonderful mountain escape.
