We depart on one of our luxury motor coaches from Farragut (JCPenney-Turkey Creek) at 6:45am then Knoxville (Walmart-3051 Kinzel Way) at 7:30am. We arrive in Bryson City, NC by 10am ready to board for our 11am departure on the Nantahala Gorge Excursion. True locomotive power will be on display with this diesel engine workhorse that will take us along the Alarka Creek and Fontana Lake before crossing the Fontana Trestle and into the beautiful Nantahala Gorge. Lunch is served while we enjoy the beautiful views from the picture windows of our first class car. Once arriving at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, you have a one hour layover to relax by the river, grab a snack, or enjoy the sites.
