15 minutes

Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Experience the wonders of a Smoky Mountain Fall! Where we go during the tour will depend on where the best Fall color is at the time of your tour. Fall color starts in the high elevations and moves down the mountain. At the beginning of the Fall color season, we will go to places up high. This could include Kuwohi, Newfound Gap, etc. Mid season, we will seek out a mid elevation hike and at the end of the Fall color season, we will hike at low elevations
