Great Smoky Mountains

Cloaked in a shroud of blue mist, the Great Smoky Mountains are a breathtaking sight all year round but really come into their own come autumn, when the mountain foliage turns to brilliant crimsons, oranges, and purples, for a sight that’s nothing short of spectacular. The most-visited national park in the U.S., the Smokies boast over 500,000 acres of pristine forest and valleys laced with picturesque rivers, streams, and waterfalls. Nestled between North Carolina and Tennessee, the park hosts plenty of camping grounds and over 800 miles of hiking trails tailor-made for horseback riding, wildlife viewing, and mountain biking. Good ol’ American fun awaits at nearby Dollywood, too, where theme-park offerings and an annual National Gospel and Harvest Celebration, complete with free country, bluegrass, and Americana concerts, draw visitors each fall.
