Thanks for setting this up James
My reservation has been made and confirmed
Coach Class Train and prepaid parking
on Saturday Oct. 3 at 9:00am

See who is already going on the list in post #296.

Make your reservation here for October 3rd at 9am >>Bryson City / Nantahala Gorge Excursion

Note: We will need to leave the Fontana Lodge at 7:15am on Saturday for this activity.
It is an enjoyable drive to Bryson city which is 32 miles from our Lodge
There are several places to grab a quick breakfast in Bryson city according to the staff before we board the train.
The train will return to Bryson city at 1:30 pm so we will have the rest of the afternoon to do as we wish.
Bryson City and Cherokee our nice small towns to eat and shop at etc.

From the website:

It is recommended that you and your party arrive at least one hour prior to departure.
This will provide adequate time for you to park, pick up your ticket(s) from the depot, and be ready to board the train 30 minutes prior to the 9am departure.

From the lodge to the parking in Bryson City >>>

Due to open seating arrangements, we are going with COACH CLASS on the Nantahala Gorge Trip on Oct 3 at 9:00.
In order to get group rates, we need 20 or more.
The Trip will sell out so please be sure to reserve early!
The clerk told me only food that will fit into a women's purse is allowed, no picnic baskets or coolers allowed.
When making reservations online, you can prepay for lunch, parking, and other souvenirs.
