Yellow Fall Colors in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Yellow Fall Colors in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Posted By Jason Barnette on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 Photography, Tennessee, Great Smoky Mountains National Park

My long weekend in Pigeon Forge was over but I wasn’t about to leave Tennessee without a scenic drive first. I zipped through Gatlinburg and hopped on Newfound Gap Road through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. What a beautiful scenic drive it was. In no time at all I was surrounded by vibrant yellow from popular and sugar maple trees. The vibrant fall colors contrasted with the dark evergreens making the scenery so much more beautiful. I took nearly four hours to drive twenty miles and I don’t regret it for even a minute. Take a look at the photos I captured below and leave me a comment telling me which is your favorite!
