A season worth of Polar Express and Valentine train rides is over. Things are cold now, but the snow will soon be giving way to little sprouts of green. The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad is slowly creeping back to a full spring schedule. Currently, the railroad is running on Saturdays only. This is the Tuckaseegee River excursion. The 32 mile round-trip ride from the depot in Bryson City to the small town of Dillsboro, NC will keep you and your family entertained for four hours. You’ll be able to walk around town and check out the many artisans’ shops with a 1.5 hour layover time. From chocolatiers to potters, from wine to cheese, don’t let the size of Dillsboro fool you. This quaint mountain town has a lot to offer. The ride departs at 11am from Bryson City. Make your reservations now!
