NC Fall Leaf Color Report for The Great Smoky Mountains

October 23, 2013  -  The Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Colors are wonderful in many areas at elevations above 4,000 feet. In the park's lower elevations, a lot of trees are still green, but there are some reds of dogwood and sourwood, and yellows of tulip poplar and birch. Fall wildflowers are still very pretty along park roadways. Check out the park's webcams to see how fall colors are progressing: Purchase Knob (high elevation) Look Rock (middle elevation).

Colors are looking good in many mid-elevations areas. Some lower elevation locations, especially on the North Carolina side, are glorious now too. On the Tennessee side of the park, there's still plenty of green, but colors are developing quickly. For fall photos and updates from the park, visit the official GSMNP facebook page.   Read the full report

EVERYONE loves fall color - even Smokey!

The Park has set up two webcams (best viewed during daylight hours) for you to watch the daily progress of fall color and get local climate conditions.
