A road guide to the Peach State, Georgia is a Big State, densely packed with interesting things to see and do. For Backroads & Byways of Georgia David Jenkins traveled more than 10,000 miles to map cut fifteen touts featuring the best that the state has to offer. Take a ride from Savannah to St. Marys along the historic Atlantic coast, cruise the Appalachians in the northwest, drive the broad plains of the southwest, or explore the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia's northeast. With so much geographical diversity, Georgia makes a remarkable driver's getaway. Everywhere you look, there's something new to discover: abundant natural beauty, the historic, the quirky and offbeat, the strange and unusual, and the beautiful. Old houses, old churches, old courthouses, old mills, covered bridges, and historic sites abound. As with all of our Backroads & Byways titles, this book equips you with itineraries appropriate for trips of differing durations and seasons, tips, for comfortable accommodations, great food, and good shopping, too.
