Millions of people come to the Smoky Mountains to see the change of the seasons and see the splendor of autumn colors since there are more 100 species of trees which change colors in a variety of shades and over a period of more than a month making areas like Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville Tennessee the best place to see the change of seasons.

Color changes start where it is cooler in the higher elevations and work their way down the mountainside making for a spectacular leaf season and since the highest peaks are visible renting a cabin in Pigeon Forge or the surrounding towns of Gatlinburg and Sevierville is the best place to stay in order to catch the best leaf color change in the Smokies.

Even if you rent a cabin before or after the peak in the leaf season which runs from October into November - the most vibrant colors would be at most a few minutes away.

In the lower elevations of the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Tennessee area the tress and bushes normally show of their autumn colors late into November.
