This area is famous for fall colors, and Knoxville's proximity to the Smoky Mountains allows you take in all the color without the crowds. Spring is also magnificent - especially during Dogwood season. Winter is typically brief and mild. Summers can get hot, but the city offers a variety of fun ways to stay cool.
