Fall Hikes & Auto Tours in the Smokies: Colorful Trails!

Leaf season will be here before you know it and we felt it might be helpful to let your daydream until the leaves turn from green to red, yellow, orange, pink, and gold. Our Gatlinburg cabins have impressive views of the fall foliage all their own, but sometimes you just feel like exploring and enjoying a nature walk or drive through the park. 

Book your stay at a Gatlinburg cabin either by phone at 888-991-9040 or Heartland Cabin Rentals online . We offer an online chat if you would like one on one assistance without having to call. If you prefer email correspondence, you may reach us at reservations@heartlandrentals.com .

Great Hikes For Fall Foliage

Inspiration Point – Alum Cave Trail

The Alum Cave Trail is roughly 10.5 miles south of Gatlinburg, it is an easy drive and it falls along Newfound Gap Road. This hike will take you on a journey through an ancient forest where you will see different types of forests of trees ranging in elevation. The trail itself is about a 3.6-mile round trip hike and offers incredible fall views!

Look Rock Tower

The Foothills Parkway is an incredibly scenic route. This drive brings you through amazing views on the way to Look Rock Tower. Plan to park your vehicle at the Look Rock Tower parking area. From here you will continue on foot towards the trail. The trail is about a 1-mile round trip hike and is moderate in difficulty.

Easy To Get To Auto Tour

One of the most accessible areas of Great Smoky Mountains National Park is Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. It sits on the backside of downtown Gatlinburg, near traffic light number 8.
