North Georgia’s hills will be awash in the reds, yellows and oranges of autumn come late October and early November, so it’s time to start making plans for your fall getaways.
The folks behind SmokyMountains.com, the tourism group covering the mountainous area from Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to Asheville, N.C., are back again this year with their fall foliage map, which tracks the descent of fall color from the north as summer comes to a close.
While the website is focused on tourism to the Smoky Mountains, it tracks color changes throughout the United States. At worst, the online map is an entertaining look at the changing seasons but at best is a helpful planning guide to get the most from the month ahead.
Leaves changing: Make plans now for colorful autumn retreats
