Despite a recent early snowfall at the top of the higher peaks in the Great Smoky Mountains, the fall color season still has several fabulous weeks ahead in the Gatlinburg, TN area.

The snowy weather put an end to much of the color at the highest elevations above 4,500 feet, but a vibrant kaleidoscope will continue to develop in the coming weeks at the lower to mid elevations.

Currently, portions of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park’s mountainsides are exploding with color while other areas still remain primarily green.
