The Gatlinburg weather forecast for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday in the 3rd week is dry and sunny. This last week has been cold and rainy. There is a good chance that this will be the peak of the leaves. If  beautiful fall foliage is what your looking for then this may be your only shot. Gatlinburg TN is buzzing with tourists hoping to catch the beautiful orange and gold fall colors.  Chalet Village Properties has 6 units open for next weekend. Traffic has been thick and slow moving from an elevated number of visitors this year.  Don’t waste your money on a small hotel room in downtown. Invest your money wisely and rent a cabin or chalet for ultimate privacy and comfort.

Not sure of the Botanist name that gave this information but it seems to make sense.  The second week of October is the projected peak time for leaves between 5,000 and 6,000 feet in elevation.  Every one thousand feet you drop in elevation add 1 week for peak time.

Makes good sense because the higher up the mountain you go the cooler the weather gets. Cool weather is the catalyst for the changing process.

Having said that let me say this, Good luck with trying to time this process in East Tennessee. I have lived here all my life and if there is one thing for sure about our weather, it is for sure unpredictable.

Fall Fantasy

Fall is upon us and within about 3 weeks we will really start to see some changes in the colors here on the mountain. Their is no time of year better to be in the Great Smoky Mountains. Crisp clean air and some of the greatest hiking and site seeing on the east coast. The above view was actually taken from one of the cabins on the mountain.  You would be hard pressed to find a view like this in Pigeon Forge.  Gatlinburg sits right in the middle of the national park. Once you drive into Gatlinburg and stay in a cabin you will never want to leave.

If you like a good adrenaline pumping adventure without completely fearing for your life then whitewater rafting in the Smokies is for you.  When you stay in Gatlinburg, Tennessee  you are only a scenic drive away from the Little Pigeon River.  Hartford, Tennessee is home to numerous outposts that can train and outfit you and the family for a spectacular vacation memory. Hartford is about a 30 mile drive from Gatlinburg on Hwy 321.

Companies will bring their employees on team building trips to help form bonds and unite them to promote teamwork and efficiency. Young couples and Families will benefit greatly from this experience. Everyone should be aware that the guides on the river are CPR trained and they also have been trained for any situation that may arise while on the river.

 The #1 money saving travel tip is to Rent a Chalet or Cabin with Chalet Village Properties in Gatlinburg TN: Because right now we are running the best special in town. Checkin on Sunday pay for 3 nights and receive the 4th and 5th night free thru September. Our cabins and chalets have fully furnished kitchens to help save you money instead of overpaying to go out to eat.  Recession travel is the new craze and below there are a few tips that might help get you buy.

Buy gas the day before you travel. You already know where the best gas deals are near your house or office, so you might as well purchase the first tank of your trip at a price you know and can control.

Choose an exit with several gas stations. You can usually tell these from the amenity signs on the highway leading up to the exit — the ones that list several local diners, hotels and gas stations. If the sign lists two or more stations, you will often benefit from the simple fact that there is competition for your business.

Upon exiting, you’ll typically see a sign reading:

Brand A – 0.1 mi –>
Brand B – 0.1 mi <–
Brand C – 0.8 mi –>

In this case, you may want to choose the station that is furthest from the exit ramp.

Typically, Brand C will have the lowest prices, simply due to the inability to gouge outsiders looking for a quick off-and-on fill-up (the locals often use this station).

Two things happen. First, it’s cheaper. Second, it is often less crowded. The extra mile’s drive will cost you a few cents, but you can sometimes recover that in the first few gallons, and ultimately save quite a bit if you are running on empty and fill your tank.
