When is the best time to visit Gatlinburg?

I’ve been wanting to take my grandparents on a trip, and they both really want to go to Gatlinburg. When is the best time to go to Tennessee?

From the majestic Smoky Mountains to the iconic Dollywood to the adorable downtown area,
Gatlinburg
is the perfect spot to get in touch with nature and have a little fun. If you want to avoid crowds and less-than-ideal temperatures, the best time to visit Gatlinburg is in the early fall or spring.
The fall foliage is at its best in October. Dodge the autumnal crowds by visiting on weekdays rather than weekends (or visit in September instead). Alternatively, the month of April is generally free from big crowds, and you may be able to find better deals on cabins and lodging at this time.
Peak season in Gatlinburg is in the summer. This is when you can expect the most people and hot temps. If neither sounds pleasant, avoid this timeframe.
No matter what’s on your itinerary for Gatlinburg, you’ll definitely need a car to get around. Whether you plan on
renting a car
or driving your own, be sure you have the right
car insurance
for your trip.
