Fall into Gatlinburg | Tennessee Vacations

Here a crow, there a crow, everywhere a scarecrow! That’s what you’ll find during your Tennessee vacations in the fall while staying at The Park Vista, A Doubletree by Hilton. Starting in September and lasting through the fall season you’ll discover scarecrows around every corner in Gatlinburg. We always look forward to celebrating the annual events, festivities and fall activities that happen throughout the pumpkin-spiced season and all are just minutes from our Gatlinburg lodging. Here’s why planning your Tennessee vacations in autumn will be on your bucket list!

The Scarecrows and Town Decorations

The Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival kicks off in September and lasts through the end of November. The town becomes decorated with over-the-top displays of 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional scarecrows as well as fall decorations which make for perfect photo opportunities. The lavish decor is to be admired as the pumpkins, straw bales, and life-size scarecrows bring out the spirit of the season. You’ll love walking along Gatlinburg Parkway where you’ll find most of the scarecrows with others in various scenes throughout downtown Gatlinburg. Download the Gatlinburg App, which provides a map with all the locations of the scarecrows.

The second reason to visit during the fall is the breathtaking atmosphere of the Smoky Mountains. It’s no wonder travelers choose to stay during autumns peak as you’ll indulge in the ever-changing fall foliage from your private balcony. Watch as the leaves transition from deep green to golden hues, ambers, crimson and scarlet red all while breathing in the fresh, crisp Smoky Mountain air. The Park Vista is the only Gatlinburg hotel on top of the hill where you can view the Smoky Mountains from a private balcony away from the busy downtown Gatlinburg area.
