Everyone knows the further you go up North the vibrant fall colors display draw a lot of visitors. But did you know that the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee puts on its own stunning display of gold, red, yellow and orange as the temperatures cool down and the days shorten?
The landscape here is populated with sugar maples,
hickories, sweetgum, scarlet oaks, red maples and nearly 100 other
species of native trees. This colorful show from Mother Nature will last
not that long. It’s another great reason to make a trip to eastern Tennessee and take a break from your hectic everyday life.

We decided to join a million other leaf-peepers in the Great Smoky Mountains.

| Mother Nature’s vivid showcase of fall foliage color always provides a treat for those lucky enough to see them. |
Keep in mind, the most popular way to see the foliage is driving. Be
aware that Cades Cove and Newfound Gap Road congested in the month of
October. Consider to visit early morning to beat the traffic. Hiking has
become an increasingly popular as well we've seen few trails parking
that was really crowded like: Laurel Falls and Alum Cave Trail to Mt.
Le Conte.

I love your beautiful pictures. Here in New York we also get awesome colorful foliage of greens, yellows, oranges, reds and gold. Fall is the best time to head for a short road trip just for the scenery. I have been to the mountains in Tennessee and hope to return.
ReplyDeleteI used to live in upstate NY the fall season was a little bit early there compare to East TN. Mainly because of the weather temperature, we love going on a road trip whenever we get a chance.
DeleteThis is lovely. I love road trips of any sort in the fall when the leaves are changing.
ReplyDeleteSame here autumn is my favorite season when it comes comfortable weather temperature and nature tripping.
DeleteWe LOVE the “Smokies” - that’s what we Alabamians call the Smoky Mountains! It is one of our favorite family vacations. It is beautiful and there is so much to do there.
ReplyDeleteI agree Smokies is beautiful all year round. Hopefully soon you can come and visit with your family again.
DeleteI have only been "through" the Smokies once and didn't really take the time to enjoy their splendor. I definitely want to go back when I can have a little time.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend the Pigein Forge and Gatlinburg stop over while visiting Smoky Mountain. So much to see and do here , you and your family will have a blast.
DeleteThe smoky mountains is one of my favorite visits in the whole world. They're beyond gorgeous and they never disappoint.
ReplyDeleteWow, look at all those colors. Who could ever leave the Smoky Mountains???? It would be hard for me to leave with all that beauty.
ReplyDeleteOmg! That Smoky Mountain is such a wonderful place to visit. I love it, such a peaceful and beautiful place to visit. Will definitely visit there with my family!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves of these trees are totally gorgeous. Much more when the wind blows and the leaves falls on you like a shower.
ReplyDeleteWow this looks like such a beautiful looking place to explore! I love all the colours on the trees, something almost magical about this time of year.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so amazed with this beautiful mountain. I loved everything most especially the different colors of the leaves and its telling you that fall season is really here. Such a beautiful road trip experience!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! I have always wanted to go here as well. I have it on my list of places I'd love to go to someday.
ReplyDeletewow fall doesn't look like that here in Arizona at all!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! so many tall tree's and mountains everywhere, it looks so peaceful. I bet the air is so clean!
I hadn't heard much of Tennessee until my parents went a few years back and they said they had a great time there. They went to the Jack Daniels Brewery and got quite a lot of Whiskey's. They had the No 1, 2,3 ,4, 5, etc. They all tasted the same to me though! (whiskey isn't my favorite, at all!)
Have you ever been there?
Great post!
oh yeah, amazing pictures by the way

Actually we did go to Jack Daniels Distillery. I personally do not drink whiskey but going on a tour was really fun. And yes Smokies are pretty all year round however fall season is my favorite just because the trees are more prettier and the weather is more nicer.
DeleteYour photos are amazing! I have been wanting to take a road trip to Tennessee. It looks like there is so much to do there. The fall foliage is so pretty there!
ReplyDeleteI agree we live like an hour away from Smokies this is our favorite getaway. If we need to unwind after our long busy week.
