BEST TIME TO HIKE TENNESSEE
The best time to visit Tennessee to enjoy festivals and outdoor activities is in the summer months of June through August. However, Tennessee can get quite humid and hot in the summer, so for those who can’t stand the heat, the best time to Backpack is during the cooler fall months of September through November. It’s also the best time to hike the Smoky’s. Tennessee get’s a lot of rain and water is usually found on most of the hiking trails including higher in elevation. However, during Fall, the Smoky’s can get pretty crowded so plan accordingly if you are going to hike or camp in the Smoky Mountain National Park.
