Smoky Mountain Fall Foliage |
|
The warm, sunny days and cool, clear nights of September, mixed with just the right amount of rain, soon transform 800 square miles of lush green forest into a brilliant palette of autumnal color. Starting at the peaks in early October and moving down to the lower elevations through early November, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge become surrounded by the most beautiful skylines you’ll ever see. The storekeepers work hard to match the beauty of the autumn mountains by carrying the same colors into often-elaborate storefront decorations in anticipation of the influx of visitors coming to see the sights. Festivals and special events add even more reasons to visit.
