5 Fun Valentine’s Day Road Trip Ideas from Heritage Mitsubishi-Morrow

1. Romantic Getaway to the Blue Ridge Mountains

Perfect for: Mitsubishi Outlander or Outlander Sport

If you and your Valentine enjoy the outdoors, the Blue Ridge Mountains are calling your name. About a two-hour drive from Morrow, this area is known for its beautiful trails, peaceful streams, and picturesque mountain views. Take a hike through the Aska Adventure Area, or if you’re more into low-key activities, enjoy a scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.

For this trip, the Mitsubishi Outlander or Outlander Sport is the ideal companion. Both models offer plenty of space for hiking gear and cozy picnic blankets, plus the all-wheel-drive capability that ensures a smooth ride through winding mountain roads. With their spacious interiors and comfortable seating, these SUVs will make your journey just as enjoyable as the destination!

2. Charming Day in Helen, Georgia

Perfect for: Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross or Mirage

If you’re in the mood for a fun, quirky town with European charm, head to Helen, Georgia—only about 1.5 hours from Morrow. This Bavarian-themed village offers a unique mix of shops, eateries, and scenic views. Take a stroll through the picturesque streets, have a romantic meal at a cozy German restaurant, or enjoy a peaceful paddle down the Chattahoochee River.

For this trip, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross or the highly fuel-efficient Mirage is your best bet. If you’re planning to do a lot of driving and want to save on fuel, the Mirage’s impressive gas mileage will keep you cruising for miles. However, if you want a bit more space for shopping and a smooth ride through winding roads, the Eclipse Cross is a great option!

3. Explore the Oconee National Forest

Perfect for: Mitsubishi Outlander or Mitsubishi Triton (if you’re feeling extra adventurous)

For a more outdoorsy, adventurous date, head to the Oconee National Forest, located just about 1.5 hours from Morrow. With over 11,000 acres of forested land, you and your date can hike, bike, or even camp under the stars. The cool weather and beautiful trails will make for a romantic and adventurous Valentine’s Day.

If you’re planning to venture off the beaten path, a Mitsubishi Outlander will give you the performance and space to handle anything nature throws your way. If you’re really in the mood for adventure, consider taking a Mitsubishi Triton—ideal for those rougher trails and off-roading opportunities. The Triton’s rugged build is perfect for tackling tough terrains while keeping you both safe and comfortable!

4. Wine Tasting in North Georgia

Perfect for: Mitsubishi Mirage or Outlander PHEV

Valentine’s Day and wine go hand in hand, and North Georgia offers some of the best vineyards for a romantic day of wine tasting. A little over 2 hours from Morrow, the North Georgia Wine Trail stretches through picturesque towns like Dahlonega, where you can tour vineyards, sip on local wines, and enjoy breathtaking views of the foothills.

For this type of getaway, a more fuel-efficient vehicle like the Mitsubishi Mirage or the Outlander PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) is perfect for keeping your fuel costs low while covering the miles. With the Outlander PHEV, you can cruise for longer distances without worrying about fuel, plus enjoy the peace of mind of hybrid technology as you explore the rolling hills and vineyards.

5. Chattahoochee Bend State Park

Perfect for: Mitsubishi Outlander Sport or Outlander

For a day filled with nature and adventure, take your Valentine to Chattahoochee Bend State Park, just about an hour’s drive from Morrow. Whether you’re into kayaking, hiking, or simply relaxing by the river, this state park offers a peaceful setting to enjoy each other’s company. You can rent kayaks, take a walk along the park’s trails, or just bask in the beauty of the river.

If you’re planning to do some outdoor exploring, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is perfect for the job. With its high ground clearance and versatile performance, it’s a great companion for navigating the park’s roads and nearby trails. If you need a little more space for gear or just prefer a larger SUV, the Outlander is a fantastic option, offering plenty of cargo room for your outdoor essentials.

Bonus Tip: Choosing the Right Mitsubishi for Your Road Trip

When it comes to choosing the perfect Mitsubishi model for your road trip, consider both your destination and driving needs. If you’re heading somewhere far and want the best fuel economy, the Mitsubishi Mirage or Outlander PHEV are ideal. However, if your plans include more rugged terrain or outdoor activities, the Mitsubishi Outlander, Outlander Sport, or Triton are better equipped to handle tougher roads while providing a comfortable and adventurous experience.

No matter which destination you choose, Heritage Mitsubishi Morrow has a variety of vehicles that will make your Valentine’s Day road trip memorable. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, a Mitsubishi can help you get there in style.
