The Great Smoky Mountains with Atlanta, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations packages this 4-day, 3-night combo pairing a stay in Atlanta with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

In Atlanta, the trip takes in the city's museums and aquarium and a stroll through Piedmont Park, before a scenic drive over to Pigeon Forge and a tour along the Foothills Parkway in the Smoky Mountains.
