Western North Carolina Places and Things to do in October!
5 Best Places to See Fall Foliage in North Carolina tripstodiscover.com
by Jen Baxter
Although many regions of North Carolina will witness the changing of the leaves this fall, the best view of the colors will be in the western part of the state, near the Blue Ridge Mountains. In fact, tens of thousands of people flock to this mountain range that spans over North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, because of its bold colors. Due to its varied elevations, it is also one of the longest running leaf seasons in the world, beginning in October and ending in early November.
Since the changing of the leaves varies from year to year and region to region, there is no exact best time to take it in. But, since the foliage starts changing at higher elevations first and then works its way down the mountain, you can plan your trip accordingly.
Start Moving Down the Mountain in October
After the first few weeks of October, you can begin to see the leaves change color slightly lower down the mountain, around 4-5,000 feet. Here, you’ll want to check out the areas of Boone and Blowing Rock, as well as pretty much anywhere along the Blue Ridge Parkway. A particularly good spot during this time is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is one of the largest national parks in the country, as well as the most visited, but just one visit and you’ll understand what all the hype is about. Be sure to check out the views from Clingmans Dome, the tallest point in the park, and at the many overlook stops along Newfound Gap Road.
