  If you're traveling by car, start by heading southeast on Main St toward E 1st St. Continue on Main St for about 2 miles until you reach the intersection with US-31 S. Merge onto US-31 S and continue for approximately 10 miles. Take the exit for TN-243 E toward Columbia. Continue on TN-243 E for about 5 miles, then turn left onto Cheeks Bend Rd. Higher Pursuits will be located at 3114 Cheeks Bend Rd, Columbia, TN 38401, approximately 1 mile down the road on your right.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Higher Pursuits using public transportation, take the Maury County Public Transit bus from downtown Columbia to the nearest stop on US-31 S. From there, you may need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service (like Uber or Lyft) to complete your journey to 3114 Cheeks Bend Rd, as public transit may not directly serve that area. Be sure to check the bus schedule ahead of time for availability and potential costs associated with the taxi or rideshare.

• Bicycle

  For those wanting to cycle, you can rent a bike in Columbia and follow a similar route as by car. Start on Main St heading southeast, then turn onto US-31 S. Biking along TN-243 E is relatively safe, but be cautious of traffic. Once you turn onto Cheeks Bend Rd, you will find Higher Pursuits about 1 mile down the road. Ensure you have a bike lock and follow all local cycling laws. There may be a rental fee for the bike, so plan accordingly.

• Walking

  Walking from the nearest accommodations in Columbia may take considerable time, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your starting point. Head southeast on Main St, then follow the same route as if driving, using sidewalks and crosswalks where available. It is recommended to use this method only if you are staying nearby and are comfortable with a longer walk.
