There are plenty of things to do and see when you visit the Smoky Mountains at any time of year.

Autumn is another great time to experience the Great Smoky Mountains as the fall foliage starts to turn in October and November—the mountain slopes change to stunning shades of gold, yellow, orange and red as the leaves signal the next season to come.
