Question of the Week!  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section is dedicated to you, our readers! Feel free to reply to this email with any of your fun stories from your vacation in Pigeon Forge. Send us photos, memories, travel tips, anything that you would like to tell us about your experience in the Smokies. Every week we will highlight reader's comments in this article. Thanks for all the feedback. We love to hear from you!

 

This week's question, "Will you be visiting us for this year's Winterfest?   What are you most looking forward to?"

  

Last week's question, "The Fall season calls for lots of new flavors and recipes including, chili, caramel apples and pumpkin pies, do you have a favorite fall food that you look forward to each year?"

  

Jacob writes, "My favorite fall food is the pumpkin squares from The Old Mill. It is just so good! I look forward to it."

  

Mary writes, "I really Love the Pumpkin Pie fudge I get it at the Comedy Barn every fall. The fudge is great and the prices are the best in the smokies.  This place is a hidden gem not just for comedy but sweets and souvenirs."
 
Vickie writes, "I like chili as one of my favorite fall foods. The aroma of the different spices cooking, gives you a warm feeling inside." 
Smoky Mountains are the Prefect Fall Foliage Spot 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Great Smoky Mountains were named as top spot for fall foliage in two separate Huffington Post articles. The first article was a list TripAdvisor put together of their favorite destinations to spot fall foliage.  The Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee came in number four on their list!  The next article was from Sherman's Travel who listed 5 Unforgettable Fall Foliage Drives.  The Great Smoky Mountains came in the number two spot on this list and they had a couple suggestions on where and when to choose the best drives. The suggested drives are Clingmans Dome Road in early fall to catch the high elevation changes and you can reach Tennessee's highest peak at 6,643 feet! Then toward the end of October try the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail where you will pass beautiful waterfalls and plenty of hiking trails.
