What a difference a day makes! The fall foliage was more intense this morning than yesterday. I retraced my route back over the mountains to Cherokee from Gatlinburg in order to pick up the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Part of the reason for brighter foliage was the early morning sun highlighting the foliage and part was the temperature difference on the Gatlinburg side. I awoke to 51F in Gatlinburg and it was 13 degrees warmer once I descended Newfound Gap into Cherokee.
As I was heading out, I got a great view of Chimneytops which is far more visible since the fire. The fire is evident there and only a few places in Gatlinburg.
As I walked to the restaurant last night, across the river were several burned out homes. Hopefully, the park, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are well on their way to recovery. Gatlinburg was certainly busy.

I stopped in Cherokee for breakfast and then headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Traffic was heavy but most people were very courteous and pulled off at overlooks to allow faster moving traffic to pass them by.
At first, it seemed the foliage wasn’t as brightly colored but I noticed that instead of the yellows on the Gatlinburg side, the Cherokee side of the mountains were mostly reds of maples and gums.
There are parts of the Blue Ridge that are amazing. I’ve done a lot of the overlooks but what impressed me more were the totally shaded areas with sunlight dappling through the canopy highlighting the colors. As I passed Grandfather Mountain I noticed an abundance of red colors on the side of the mountain. It was quite spectacular.
I really made this trip to get away from all the yard debris and if the colors were good, it would be a bonus. I got away and got the bonus, so it’s been a great trip thus far.
