Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains have a temperate climate well suited for your vacation and Pigeon Forge cabin packages.  A little preplanning is a good idea to insure you have the best vacation possible.

Weather in the Smoky Mountains can be unpredictable.  When you take advantage of one of our Pigeon Forge cabin packages, it is important to remember some tips.  Spring comes early in the Smokies with its spring ephemeral flowers like the White Trillium but she can be a fickle season.  You may go on a wildflower walk as a part of your Pigeon Forge cabin package, and see you need a jacket and sweater in early morning, short sleeves in the afternoon and a rain jacket in early evening.  The colorful show that lasts well into May is worth the uncertainty as the early flowers give way to favorites like Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron.  All told, there are well over 1,000 flowering plants adorning the national park and surrounding areas.

Summer brings warmer days to east Tennessee and the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg region, along with humidity.  Outdoor sports, paddling, fishing and adventures to local attractions as elements of your Pigeon Forge cabin packages require ample sunscreen and a reminder to drink a lot of water.  While the mornings can still be cool and refreshing, hot humid afternoons are possible from June to early September when the mountains welcome the cooler temperatures of Fall.

Fall is a special season for many who choose our Pigeon Forge cabin packages.  The cooler temperatures, lower humidity and spectacular color from the deciduous trees kissed by Jack Frost during the cool nights are the highlights of Fall in the Smokies.  It is also traditionally the time area farmers and craftsmen embrace the harvest. Southern Gospel music fills the air at Dollywood as part of the National Southern Gospel and Harvest Celebration.

Once the cold winter winds begin to blow, some activities move inside, but your Pigeon Forge cabin packages offer activities for all four seasons.  You’ll want to remember a heavy coat, especially if you are heading to higher elevations.  There are many days in the winter that offer sunny, warm afternoons but snow is likely during the traditional winter months.  We recommend that you check the Pigeon Forge, TN forecast at www.weather.com to help you plan for your visit.
