The roadbed of the defunct Silver Comet rail line has been paved from Northwest Atlanta to Anniston, Alabama, for cyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians. (Are you up for a carless 100-mile rural ride?) A few miles east of Rockmart, Georgia, the Silver Comet Trail passes through Brushy Mountain Tunnel, cut into tectonized Great Smoky metasediments.
