Cowee GEMs Andrews Valley Rail Tour
August 28, 2026

If you're retirement age, we'd love for you to join our GEMs for a day of fellowship, beautiful scenery, and a relaxing adventure at Andrews Valley Rail Tours!
We'll enjoy a scenic 9-mile, 1½-hour round-trip journey through the beautiful Andrews Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains on historic railroad tracks. Participants may choose between an electric pedal-assisted RailBike or a comfortable Passenger Cart with swivel chairs—both offer a wonderful way to take in the mountain views.
Trip Details
📍 Andrews Train Depot
95 First Street, Andrews, NC
🕥 Please arrive by 10:30 AM for mandatory safety instructions. The tour departs promptly at 11:00 AM.
💲 Cost: $65 per person (includes taxes and fees)
About halfway through the tour, we'll stop for approximately 30 minutes at the historic Valley River Tunnel, where you'll have time to enjoy a snack or picnic, take photos, or simply relax by the river. Feel free to bring a small cooler with refreshments.
Whether you enjoy the adventure of the RailBike or the comfort of the Passenger Cart, this is a great opportunity to enjoy God's creation, build friendships, and spend time with others in our retirement-age community.
