Autumn colors reach their peak October 15-31 in the Smokies. By mid-September the foliage starts to change in the northern hardwood forest above 4,500 feet before spreading into the hardwoods in lower elevations. Reds generally are red maple, pin cherry and mountain-ash, yellows are American beech, yellow birch and yellow buckeye.
