If you can pull yourself away from the computer screen for a few moments and turn your cell phone and PDA off (not vibrate), you might happen to notice one of the most magnificent shows that has ever been orchestrated. It is a spectacular multimedia presentation, complete with sights and sounds that have been the inspiration for thousands of artists over the years. And best of all, it happens every year; the magnificent fall foliage color change in Tennessee.

Tennessee is home to many national and state parks that annually attract hundreds of thousands of visitors who travel to see the season's magic. According to Dwight Barnett, spokesman for the Tennessee Division of Forestry, the varying elevations and large number of foliage species make Tennessee one of the most diverse and vibrant stages to view the changing of colors.

For more information, including a listing of prime locations and times to view the changing colors, a listing of the best trees to watch for, photography, and information on why colors change each year, please contact the Tennessee Department of Tourism, at 1-800-697-4200.
