The Russell-Brasstown Scenic Byway winds through the valleys and sparkling waterfalls of the southern Appalachian Mountains, in Georgia. The combination of tight curves, crazy elevation changes and scenic views of valleys and dense forests make a great motorcycle ride, specially during the fall for the beautiful foliage colours.

The route forms a loop starting at the junction of SR-17 and SR-75 in the city of Helen. Head north on Route 17 and continue westbound along Route 180. On Route 180, you’ll be riding along Georgia’s highest mountain, Brasstown Bald, located at 4,784 feet above sea level. Continue south along the twisty Route 348 and Route 75 A until you get back to Helen, where you’ll find the end of the route.
