Fall Road Trips

Fall Road Trips

With the beauty of fall around us, it is nice to go for a drive or a hike to take in the nature around us.  There are many options in Georgia and the Eastern United States. I've collected some of my favorite resources to share about things to do.


Georgia Official Tourism and Travel site includes recommendations on where to go in North Georgia to enjoy the reds, yellows and all the hues in between during October and November. One unique and not overly exerting way is to check out the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.


Georgia State Parks Leave Watch is a great resource for keeping up with the colors this fall!


For a spectacular fall drive check out the Russell-Brasstown Scenic Byway. Make sure to check your battery before going very far from home.  It's very common to need a battery replaced when the weather changes.


Hiking at any of our North Georgia Mountains is a sure way to see a beautiful panoramic or up close leaves over trails and water.  Red Top Mountain is always a good choice as is Tallulah Gorge State Park.


If you are interested in having someone else do the driving you may enjoy VIP Southern Wine Tours to check out some local wineries.


Some North Georgia Destinations to check out would include Helen , Hillcrest Orchards or even Jaemor Farms for family fun!


The Travel Channel recommends some road trips up the east coast and more so in the North East if you want to do some special traveling this season.


Whatever your preference whether you be driving, riding or hiking, we hope you take some time to enjoy the fall colors!

As we head into the new year, we are kicking things off with exciting news for the Sugar Hill and Suwanee community, because Team Ryan Automotive is officially in town! Since opening our doors in 2015, Team Ryan Automotive has proudly delivered exceptional service and trustworthy repairs in Buford, GA (Gwinnett County) and Cumming, GA (Forsyth County). Today, we are excited to bring that same level of care, expertise, and community commitment to drivers in Sugar Hill and Suwanee with our newest location at 820 Brogdon Rd, Suwanee, GA 30024. Did you know that it's possible to be in Sugar Hill city limits while having a Suwanee address? That's exactly where our Team Ryan Automotive Sugar Hill / Suwanee location is positioned. A Meaningful Transition This new location represents a special passing of the torch. After 26 years in Gwinnett County, John and Lori of J & L Automotive are retiring and entrusting their previous customers to be taken care of into 2026 and beyond by Team Ryan. As a husband and wife team, John and Lori built their business on trust and care. Those same values continue with husband and wife team Dan and Shara of Team Ryan Automotive, making this transition a natural fit and a continuation of a strong local legacy.
