🥾 Sunday Trail Spotlight: Miller Trail at Brasstown Valley Resort ⛰️

It was a celebration weekend for us, so we headed to Brasstown Valley Resort to treat ourselves—and of course, we had to hit the trails while we were there!

The resort features approximately 9 miles of on-site hiking trails, with the most popular being the Miller Trek. There are options ranging from a shorter 2.5-mile loop to a more challenging 6.5-mile adventure with over 1,200 feet of elevation gain.

We chose the Blue Loop, and a quick heads-up: some of the trail signage could be better, but the trees are clearly marked, making the route fairly easy to follow.

This trail is suitable for most hikers, though there are some steady climbs and descents that will definitely get your heart pumping. Nothing overly technical—just a solid moderate hike with rewarding views.

The trail winds through beautiful hardwood forest, and the tulip poplar trees were in full bloom, scattering their unique flowers all along the path. With several small stream crossings, parts of the trail were a bit muddy, so be sure to wear good shoes.

We didn’t see another person the entire time, but we did spot a couple of deer—although they noticed us before we could snap a picture!

One of the best parts? After your hike, you can head straight to the lodge for a delicious lunch overlooking the golf course.

⭐ Trail Highlights:
• 2.5- to 6.5-mile loop options
• Moderate difficulty
• Beautiful mountain overlooks
• Dog-friendly (leashed)
• Convenient on-site parking and resort amenities

📍 About 1 hour and 45 minutes from both our Calhoun and Dalton stores.

If you’re in the Blairsville or Young Harris area and looking for a peaceful, less-crowded trail, you do not have to be staying at the resort to access these trails. That makes them a great addition to your day whenever you’re in the area.
