FALL TRIP IN THE MOUNTAINS TO BLUE RIDGE SCENIC RAILWAY & MERCIER APPLE ORCHARDS, Blue Ridge, GA. Tuesday, October 8. Price each person: $95.00. Price includes round trip motor coach transportation, ticket for the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway train ride in a climate controlled rail car and a self-guided tour of Mercier Orchards. The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway winds alongside the gorgeous Toccoa River and is a site worth seeing as the colors begin to change on trees during these fall months. This total excursion is 26 miles trip with a 2 hour layover in the quaint sister towns of McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN; where visitors have plenty of time to eat lunch (to be purchased on your own), shop for unique crafts and antiques, snack on ice cream, and to take in the breathtaking mountain and river views. After the railway trip, we will visit Mercier Orchards, a family owned and operated farm in the mountain town of Blue Ridge. This farm offers a bakery and deli, market store, farm winery, and u-pick events that will meet everyone’s needs!
