September marks the beginning of a very special time in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. It is in September that foliage of the local Tennessee hills begin to change into brilliant harvest hues. If you've ever seen a postcard or painting from the Smoky Mountains, it's likely depicting a fall scene. When this region of East Tennessee and North Carolina begins to shift towards autumn colors there really is nothing else like it anywhere in the world. The amazing diversity of plant life in the Smoky Mountains ensures that a great golden spectrum is visible each and every fall season. Come and gaze on these vivid yellows, reds, oranges, golds, and browns. This vista really is something you have to experience in person to capture the fullness of the seasonal beauty.

In addition to the attraction of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park itself during this part of the year, local Smoky Mountain cities like Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville have plenty of festive events going on to add recreational possibilities to your Smoky Mountain getaway. Resort cities like Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg offer a hospitality that lets you experience the charm of Smoky Mountain culture alongside the spectacular Smoky Mountain geography.
