I work in G-burg everyday. Today still a lot of green, a bit of yellow and sparse red. Not really a whole lot of color yet. Everything is quite dry and just dropping. Maybe next week will be our "color".

Just got back from a drive out to Mooresburg on 11W through the Clinch River Valley and a return on 25E and I-40.
Color is coming along. There were spots of color on the ridges north of 11W. Still mostly green, though. The storm had just finished up on the Smokies as I headed up 25E. Gorgeous view of the mountains, still very green, although some yellows and reds coming in.

Same here in Bristol... still mostly all green, or brown from the drought. 
Case in point, I took this photo on Wednesday (10-17-07) from my front porch....

There is color in Knoxville. I think it looks great, compared to what I thought it was going to look like. I can't get pics though. It looks like my camera is broken!  |

Just barely beginning in Knoxville.
I just got back from the Blue Ridge parkway and the area around Grandfather mountain was as good as it gets. Wowsa! Some stretches you saw green to the east and colors to the west. Might have had to do with elevation or variations in rainfall.
I would think the higher elevations of the GSMP would be good now but you won't catch me anywhere near that stretch of 441 on a fall weekend. Linear parking lots annoy me.

Thanks everyone for the report...:-) I live in Alabama and when I start feeling fall in the air I get homesick for Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area.
We are moving to TN in the month of Jan. but we will be in the Nashville area even though that moves me a little closer to the mountains I love.

You might try the Cherehola skyway between Tellico plains & Robbinsville. It should be a less crowded and a bit closer to home.
