The Ultimate "Fall in the Smoky Mountains" Road Trip takes you to 11 places that include stunning drives, mountain views, and autumn fun! The highest point in the Smokies, Kuwohi (formerly Clingmans Dome), offers a sweeping 360° panorama of ridges glowing with color, while the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail winds through tunnels of blazing maples and rustic cabins. In Pigeon Forge, streets fill with cheerful Scarecrows, and the Dollywood Harvest Festival shines with pumpkins and live music. Stop at the Apple Barn & Cider Mill for hot cider and pies, then ride the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad as it cuts through valleys of golden leaves. At Cades Cove, explore pioneer cabins and watch deer in bright fields, followed by Bavarian music at Oktoberfest at Ober Mountain. Cap it off with pumpkin displays at Anakeesta and corn mazes at Darnell Farms, along with a drive through Newfound Gap for incredible views and endless fall foliage!
