Peak foliage can be hard to plan for unless you have a lot of flexibility, so my recommendation is to always come during early to mid-October," says Jordan Turchin, steward and owner of The Horse Shoe Farm in Hendersonville. "Even if the leaves aren't peaking, the weather is usually perfect and fall is in motion enough at that time to embrace the spirit of the season and fill your cup.
Fall lasts for a while in Appalachia due to its variable elevations. Above 5,000 feet, the leaves will start to change earlier, and in valleys below 3,000 feet, fall will peak a full month after the surrounding peaks," explains Steven Reinhold, owner of The Appalachian Adventure Company. "Your best bet, he says, is to adjust your adventures to whichever elevation is peaking while you're in town.
