Day Trips from Athens to Great Smoky Mountains National Park

athens day trips from athens to great smoky mountains national park

Because Athens sits just three hours south of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains via US-441 N, it's one of the best starting points for an unforgettable outdoor day trip or weekend camping excursion! When you book a private event charter bus to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, your youth group, hiking club, or university outdoor recreation team can store all their backpacks, coolers, and camping gear securely in the undercarriage bays. Your driver will navigate the steep, winding mountain grades through Clayton, Franklin, and Cherokee, North Carolina, while your passengers relax with panoramic window views. Stopping first at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center? Commercial and charter buses can unload passengers near the main building and use the designated oversized bus parking stalls (remember that commercial tour buses require a special park use permit, and vehicles over 30 feet are restricted on certain narrow park roads like Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail). After a full day of exploring trails and historic mountain cabins, everyone climbs back aboard a warm, climate-controlled cabin for a relaxing ride home to Athens!
