North of Atlanta Mountain Roads

[bobg]

I am relatively new to the Atlanta area, does anyone have any recommendations for fun mountain roads in north of Atlanta? Not the North Carolina and East Tennesse roads (I am from Knoxville and have done the Dragon many times). I am looking for fun drives relatively close to the metro area. Thanks for any input.

I can't help you as far as the greater Atlanta area and surrounding hills etc, but if you get the time to take a day trip ino the northeast corner of Georgia, the Dilliard area is awesome. The mountain roads demand a better car than I had at the time, a 97 Mitsubishi Diamante rental. Not a bad car, but I'd have preferred a 5 speed car ( Mustang Cobra would suffice LOL ) because the fun one could have. Anyway, sorry i can't help more, but do check that area out sometime, it's beautiful and there's some real entertianing driving to be had. DAN H

I am going to take my S2000 out with the Boxter club this weekend. Below is the route

Now for this drive I am looking for a New route -- we are going to go up 19 to the first stop and then I have a route to follow 19 to 180 East Brasstown Bald -- Stop and relax for a while then follow 180 to 17 to 76 over the Dicks Creek Gap and turkey Gap and to 197 then to Helen and to 285!

I will report back with comments, thanks
