Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 0.5 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Savannah instead of crossing town between them. SCAD Museum of Art is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Rocks on the Roof — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, and solo who want a planned Savannah outing without improvising between stops.
