Fall Weekend in the Smokies
October 24/25-27, 2024

sunset-views-in-the-smoky-mountains.jpg
The gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains bestows some of the best fall foliage displays in Tennessee. Join us Thursday/Friday - Sunday, October 24/25-27 for hiking, moonshine tasting, ski resort trade show with food, wine & beer, and a Halloween DJ costume dance party with dessert, beer and wine. Usually, the colors develop in mid-to-late October and peak in early November. The catalyst for the most splendid fall foliage is a string of warm and sunny days followed by cool nights.
 
Those attending the meetings are staying at the Glenstone Lodge with discounted group rates (about 50% off normal rates for this time of year) and you can add up to 2 nights before and 2 nights after and make your own vacation.
 
For those in club leadership, or those wanting to join club leadership, there will be meetings on Saturday morning on Trips, Recreational Racing, and Club Administration.
 
We would love for you to attend!
