Pretty much any county road is good for leaf-peepin'. The Trace just rocks!

I'm used to New England Fall displays where the colors are so upside-yer-head bright that they can really distract you from driving. Nice down here, too as the season lasts much longer and is very pretty in a more mellow kind of way. New England Fall colors usually only last a week or two before Ol' Man Winter rolls in and everything turns gray.
In the spirit of neutality, I think I will take Hwy 72W to the Trace turn right up the trace until I run into Hwy 8, turn left, and drive until I have had enough - then come back! RP, I have always wanted to do the leaf thing in Vermont or a cruise. There has always been a reason I could not make a reservation that far ahead. I know it is beautiful!

Don't put it off! My cousin in New Hampshire has tried for years to get me to come visit him while the leaves were peaking, and i could never quite manage it.
He died a few weeks ago.

Mynot area SSW of Cherokee, turn SSW across from Piggly Wiggly...watch out for deer.


Not only deer, but turkeys!......i've been that route Smiler

more distant, but the ride from Rogersville, through Anderson, then through Minor Hill is also gorgeous.

Before you get to Minor Hill turn right at the bottom of the hill, go out to Appleton, on to Peach Beach and to Mt.Zion. That is a great ride this time of year. You can make a circle and end up back on the Rabbit Trail Road almost to Bonnertown. Head back to Florence on 64 right at Grassy.

.....Thank you Tizzy!! There's my answere to the thread about where to get FRESH TURKEY!!!!!!!!
There is a tree at one of the poplar intersections that has purple in its color mix. Unbelievably beautiful! I did the Mynot route this AM, turning right to enter the Trace and back to Hwy 72. I may do a Lauderdale route toward Athens (and Publix) if leaves hold out. Tehanks to all- got se it yourself 'cause you are right!
