- Ride the rails with one of USA Today’s “Top 10 American Train Rides”
- Explore the Great Smoky Mountains from comfortable seats and wide windows
- Soak up spectacular views of rivers, lakes, mountains and more

All aboard! Settle into comfortable seats in a historic train car, whose wide windows offer sweeping views of the landscapes that will soon be rolling by. Hear the whistle blow and feel the engine hum to life as you begin your journey.
Clatter along the rushing Nantahala River as you climb through the forested slopes of the Great Smoky Mountains. Rumble through dark tunnels, pass glistening lakes, and chug through mountain valleys into a deep river gorge. Keep an eye out for folks paddling along the rapids below.
Cross over the historic Trellis Bridge high above Fontana Lake, then take advantage of an hour layover at the Nantahala River. Spend time exploring the area and stop for lunch. Meals can be purchased on board the train or at one of the local restaurants.
When you're ready to head back, catch the return train to Bryson City, getting another opportunity to snap stunning photos along the way. This exciting train tour of the Great Smoky Mountains serves up a day of fun with breathtaking views!

What To Wear
Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the season.
For this experience, our partners are taking extra measures to prevent any potential spread of COVID-19. These measures include all staff wearing face coverings when appropriate during your visit. Our partners kindly request that everyone participating in an activity have a face covering and use it when in close proximity to others. These coverings may include a cotton face mask, a disposable face mask, a bandana or a neck gaiter (Buff style).
Our partners also request that everyone wash their hands thoroughly before, during, and after activities with them. Although they will provide soap and hand sanitizer when needed - they would like you to bring your own to guarantee availability. Our partners will be implementing an online waiver system and request you look for a link on their website after you have booked your reservation.
Additionally, only one person from your group should come to the check-in desk and our partners will guide your group through check-in. Our partners have also put extra cleaning procedures in place. With transportation, they will carry fewer people per bus and require face covering at ALL times on the bus. Our partners will be the only people handling your food and serving utensils (if included in your experience). At our partners locations, individually wrapped or served meals will be the new normal.
