The farther south you go the less you will be in the mountians. Put it in Google maps with Terrain Veiw and move your route around.

Like kohldad said you don't want GA-52 from Chattsworth to Ellijay. And you do want the Rock Face (1'st Dalton) exit 336, not GA-52 Walnut Ave 333(thru downtown) off I-75. One other route would be GA-136 at exit 312, from Calhoun to Dawsonville. I wouldn't recomend US-129 over Blood Mountain from Bairsville to Cleveland either

I-75S to Rocky Face Exit 336 (US 41). Hang left at US 76. Left on US 76/US 411 in Chatsworth. Left on US 76 in Ramhurst. Take US 129 in Blairsville. Nice drive.

We will be in Chattanooga this Sunday for four days and then on to Cleveland GA.
Thanks

Don't take 52 by Fort Mountain State Park unless you want to visit the park for the campground or views. The road has a very long and steep climb up to the park entrance, then a long twisty road back down. Beautiful drive and doable even with a large rig if you like mountain back roads (I did it with my 35' FW). Instead at Chatsworth, take 76 south over to Eljay where you can pick 52 back up.

Other than that, think your route is sound.

On a side note, not sure if you just used Chattanooga as a general spot or not. But if you are actually coming south on I75 into Chattanooga, you can avoid the town by picking up 60 in Cleveland, TN around to 64 then over to 411 which you can take down to Chatsworth.
