DESCRIPTION:

This lodge-based journey traces a stunning path from the peaks of the Appalachians to the historic shores of the Atlantic, blending active adventure with culture, charm, and relaxation. Beginning in Asheville, we spend three nights immersed in the Appalachian Mountains - driving along the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, ziplining and rafting at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and exploring the waterfalls and sweeping vistas of Pisgah National Forest. As we descend toward the coast, we slow down to experience the character of the foothills, strolling the welcoming main streets of Waynesville, Brevard, and Travelers Rest. Along the way, we venture into Congaree National Park to discover its otherworldly unique ecosystem, either on foot or by guided canoe among towering trees and ancient cypress knees. The journey concludes on the coast with rich history and Southern hospitality - exploring Charleston’s vibrant neighborhoods and markets before settling into a resort-style stay in Savannah. Here, we unwind on Folly Beach, wander Savannah’s storied streets filled with charm and ghost tales, and savor the perfect ending to a coast-bound adventure. We return to Asheville with a quick stop in the famous town of Augusta, GA (home of the Golf Masters) or choose to fly home from Savannah.
