Chattanoogans, you’re in luck! Our area is one of the most beautiful places in the country to see the fall colors thanks to the diversity of trees and broad elevation changes. 

Now that cool weather is finally here, it’s the perfect time to explore all of the prime hiking the Chattanooga area has to offer. It’s hard to predict exactly when fall foliage will be at its peak, but a good rule of thumb is to start at higher elevations earlier in the season in order to see the best color. 

Check out our recommendations for the best fall hikes from now until early November:
