From press release
The Smoky Mountains host some 120 species of trees; the greatest variety in the United States. That variety gives the southern Appalachians a broader spectrum – a patchwork quilt of mountainside color, including the popular “red leaves” due to an abundance of Red Maple, Dogwood, and Sassafras trees.
Experts predict that, if the weather cooperates over the next week, peak color could come a few days early in select areas around the mountains. That’s great news for leaf lookers planning a trip over the next week, as they’ll be among the first to glimpse the colors of the Asheville area’s extended fall season.
Discover for yourself why Asheville is one of America’s favorite places for fall color hunting. With its location in the heart of downtown, the Renaissance Asheville hotel is the perfect location to start your adventure.
