"As the study’s top fall destination, this Tennessee park earned a 96.9 out of 100 thanks to nearly 20 million visits between September and November over the past five years and more than 132 million hours spent exploring its iconic ridgelines and forests. With famously vivid foliage in hues of crimson, ochre, and goldenrod, a near‑perfect 4.9 Google rating supported by 2,000 autumn‑specific reviews, and no entrance fee, it’s easy to see why it’s so beloved." - Iona Brannon Iona Brannon Iona Brannon is a journalist with a love for food and travel.
