BOOK NOW…DON’T MISS OUT!! RATES AS LOW AS $129/NIGHT The Great Smoky Mountain Autumn Colors As the peak elevations move down the mountainsides from the highest elevations to the foothills, the marvelous colors of autumn light up the Smokies for seven weeks or more. As early as mid-September – the autumn color display starts above 4,000 feet and are clearly visiable from Clingmans Dome Road (closed from December 1 – April 1, and whenever weather conditions require). By the beginning of October – fall colors are yellow, bright gold and different shades of reds. Mid-October – fall color is nudging along at the lower elevations. Late October – begins to fade away up top, autumn colors at mid elevations. Reds are pronounced now and colors at the highest elevations are now past peak. Lower elevations are quickly developing and the peak of color will spill over into early November. In the high country, fall colors are now past peak; the middle elevations are still showing color; and some pockets of green can still be seen at the middle to lower elevations.
