Newfound Gap Road in October - Great Smoky Mountains National Park


We spent some time in mid-October 2015 auto touring along Newfound Gap Road in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While the fall colors weren't yet at their peak, the potential for a spectacular season was visible everywhere one looked.

The fall colors were just beginning to appear at the Chimney Tops Overlook
