Author: For a colorful fall vacation, try Gatlinburg!
Autumn is in the air and the fall color season is fast approaching. Yet few destinations will provide the vibrant array of colors that makes the scenic Smoky Mountains even more spectacular in the coming weeks.
For a truly colorful fall vacation, start in Gatlinburg, TN - gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. America’s most visited national park offers up 800 square miles of wilderness throughout Tennessee and North Carolina. And with 500,000 acres of forest soon to be bursting out in brilliant hues of yellow, orange and red, the rolling Appalachian Mountains are extra special.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park welcomes more than 9 million visitors annually. A great number of those visitors also make a stop in the quaint mountain village of Gatlinburg.
Gatlinburg offers an extensive array of attractions and events for the entire family, ranging from comedy and magic shows to fun-filled dinner shows to area theme parks like Dollywood. There’s also Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort where an indoor water park provides 60,000-square feet of wet excitement under a retractable roof.
Open year-round and located adjacent to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Wild Bear Falls Water Park pays homage to the park with attractions like Cades Cove Lazy River, Clingman’s Dome (360-foot body slide), Laurel Falls (300-foot tube slide) and Little Pigeon River, a zero-entry pool and toddler play area.
From October 7-23, you can also enjoy the Gatlinburg Craftsmen’s Fair, an annual celebration of arts, crafts and music. You’ll find more than 200 booths featuring the finest work of artisans and craftspeople happy to demonstrate their skills, answer questions and offer their unique art for sale. You’ll also find plenty of live country and bluegrass music and entertainment.
