亞特蘭大-大霧山-藍嶺公路兩天游

這篇攻略是去年十一月和幾位小伙伴由 亞特蘭大 去大霧山和藍嶺公路秋游時所寫。基本按照路線走下來,但是路上走走停停,晚上六點才到大霧山腳下,去打了卡就去住的地方,準備第二天的行程了。藍嶺公路有點小小的失望,因為十一月中旬去的時候,好多葉子都掉完了。很多trial和fall也都關了。後來知道好多路段和景點十月下旬就陸續關閉了。所以想去藍嶺公路秋游的同學們,一定要提前!一定要提前!一定要提前!十月中旬去應該能看到敲美敲美的風景。亞特蘭發兩天走一個來回,時間也有點緊,如果時間充足,牆裂建議安排三天兩晚,將這個路線拆開,這條線能玩的基本都在攻略里了。最後,那個app有實時路況信息,非常使用,沿路景點也介紹的很詳細,非常實用。三月是學雷鋒月,分享給需要的小伙伴,有問題再交流。就醬!
