I’m planning a trip to the Smoky Mountains and am wondering when the best time to visit is. I’m hoping to make the most of my trip and want to ensure that I’m there at the best time of year. I’m looking for advice on the best time to go in terms of weather, activities, and attractions. I’m also interested in hearing about any special events or festivals that take place in the area. Any advice or suggestions from those who have visited the Smoky Mountains would be greatly appreciated.
