News Release—It’s beginning to feel like fall in Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Fall is a beautiful but busy time in the Smokies. Please plan your trip and expect crowds, traffic congestion and limited parking throughout the park.

The park usually experiences an autumn leaf season of several weeks as fall colors travel down the mountain sides from high elevation to low.

Read tips for finding fall colors, avoiding the crowds and planning your trip at go.nps.gov/SmokiesFall2024.

I’ve seen these all in our backyard trees while I was sitting on the balcony. I love watching them! It is so peaceful, especially when you hear the sound of the river flowing. ❤️

Many bird species in the park have migrated to warmer climates for the winter. However, you can still be on the lookout for some birds that have adapted to tolerate the winter conditions. The Northern Cardinal is a permanent resident of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They will forage for winter berries, nuts, and seeds. You are more likely to see these birds in the winter due to their bright red feathers. In the fall, they will molt their feathers and grow a new, brighter layer of plumage. Male Cardinals have this adaptation to find a mate very early in the spring and nest in higher-quality habitats.
