🍁🍂 it’s about to be leaf lookin’ season!! 🍁🍂

🍁 When will fall colors peak in the mountains? Save this guide! 🍂

One of the best things about fall in the Smokies and Southern Appalachians is that peak color doesn’t happen everywhere at once. It generally works its way down the mountains — starting at the highest elevations and gradually moving into the valleys.

🏔️ Early October: Head for the highest elevations
🍁 Mid-October: Look for color across the higher mountain regions
🍂 Late October: Peak color moves toward Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, North Georgia, Asheville, and other lower elevations

That means there are weeks of opportunities to chase fall color throughout the mountains!

📌 SAVE this guide for your fall trip and SHARE it with someone who loves autumn in the mountains.

Where are YOU planning to see the fall colors this year? 🍁👇
