248  THE SOUTHEAST

Exploring the Southeast

Despite the Southeast’s diverse landscape and topography,
the region is compact enough to tour in about a week.
The coastal cities of Charleston and Savannah, as well as
the inland metropolises of Atlanta, Nashville, and
Memphis, are well linked by road and short-haul airline
flights. The broad crest of mountains that rise up at the
center include such prime attractions as the scenic Blue Dayton
Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains National INDIANA
Park. Among the region’s other highlights are Georgia’s Indianapolis Cincinnati Columbus
beautiful Golden Isles and Kentucky’s spectacular St. Louis Covington OHIO
mountain landscapes and bluegrass pasturelands, 15 Charleston
famous for their thoroughbred horse farms. Chicago Louisville 71 64
