SOUTHERN APPALACHIA

Follow the mountains south and the landscape grows warmer, greener, and deeply rooted in traditions passed from one generation to the next. From Tennessee and North Carolina through South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, Southern Appalachia unfolds through mist-covered ridges, rushing rivers, old mountain communities, music, food, craft, and some of the region’s most celebrated wild places. Here, the journey is as much about the people and traditions you encounter as the mountains themselves.
