Is May a Good Time to Visit the Smoky Mountains?

May is indeed a beautiful time to visit. The bright green trees are sprinkled with the spring colors of wildflowers and the sound of babbling streams and waterfalls.

The wildlife is beginning to awaken and the sounds of the birds are everywhere.

I really belive that May is an underrated time of year to visit and am quite surprised it is typically slower than even some of the winter months.

Many people have returned to school and the summer crowds have not yet arrived, so cabins in the Smokies are typically abundant and at much better rates in May than you will find in other months throughout the year.
