Hike in the Chattahoochee National Forest, Bavarian village, breathtaking twin waterfalls, and mountain views.
This is indeed a picturesque byway that rings through the Chattahoochee National Forest, heading up to the highest peak in Georgia. The drive departs from the village of Helen, a former sawmill town that’s been reinvented as a Bavarian village with German-style shops, inns, and restaurants. From Helen, head north on Rte. 17/75 which hugs the shores of the Chattahoochee River at the southern end of the forest.
In Robertstown, a 3-mile detour on Rte. 356 takes you through the wilderness of the Unicoi State Park and some twelve miles of hiking trails. Just a little farther up Smith Creek Road is Anna Read more . . .
This 3.5-hour, 103-mile drive never drifts far from the famous blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico and its string of white sandy beaches. The long drive showcases rows of live oaks and the sporadic tourist strip. Since this drive begins in Pensacola, home to a historical naval air station, stop by the Pensacola Historical Museum for an in-depth look at the town’s colorful history. You’re in for a taste of the real South, at Seville Square (between S. Alcaniz and E. Government), one of Pensacola’s three historic districts.
If you are in the Miami area, South Beach is the place to be. With its bright-colored, art-deco design, pastel buildings and ocean views, this place is hot. At night, Collins Avenue is an eclectic mix of various people and spectacular neon-lit buildings. If you’re hungry, stop at Balan’s over on trendy Lincoln Avenue for its famous lobster club sandwiches or a wild salad. If you’re into gazing at other sites, check out the space museum and planetarium.
Beginning in Milford, about 20 miles south of Dover, head south on Route One to Lewes. The Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, between Milford and Milton, is full of ducks and geese in the fall and spring, and White-Tailed Deer are often sighted. It is well worth a stopover. The next break on your drive is Lewes. The place is most popular for the Lewes-Cape May Ferry that will take you on a pleasant ride across the mouth of Delaware Bay for a reasonable charge. In 1631, Lewes was founded, so there are many historical edifices in town, especially on Third Street. 
The Delaware River is an important shipping waterway, but there is a lesser-known aspect to it, as it meanders through historic small towns, quaint, and salt marshes on the northern end of the Delmarva (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia) Peninsula. Founded by the Dutch in 1651, the 45-mile, 1-1/2 hour drive begins at historic New Castle. Built in 1732, the Old Court House on Delaware Street, ranks as one of the oldest public buildings in the United States.
