Meet at Ingles on Geer Highway north of Travelers Rest 9:30am Wheels up at 10:00am
This is a run with THREE options! We had originally thought that we would travel to downtown Helen, GA to see their holiday decorations and visit their Christmas market… but on our planning trip, we found it a bit crowded for our comfort so we decided to add a couple of alternatives.
We will travel through Walhalla (with a quick rest stop at the Ingles there approximately 1hr into the trip) then head to Helen, GA. This portion of the run will be moderately spirited with twistys and some main road travel.
As we enter into Helen, GA you will get to choose your adventures for the day!
As we approach Helen, near the intersection of the Unicoi Turnpike & Main Street, you will find the Hardman Farm Historic Site, the Habersham & Creekstone Wineries, and the Nora Mill Granary. You can stop there and continue the day on your own or with other like minded MINIs!
Just a couple miles down Main Street is downtown Helen. The town is decked out for the holidays and will be hosting what they describe as a European style holiday market. There are many options for eating and shopping in Helen.
This option will be a much longer and very spirited drive! Bring snacks as we won’t be stopping for a late lunch/early dinner until close to 4:00! We will drive through Helen then continue on to the Richard Russell Byway and travel over Blood Mountain. From there, we will travel to Clayton, GA where there are numerous options to get a bite to eat.
