If you're visiting Knoxville in the fall, don't miss a University of Tennessee football games, fall colors in the Smoky Mountains and a little bit of East Tennessee history.

Neyland Stadium
In the fall, Neyland Stadium, on the University of Tennessee campus, is home to 129,000 football fans, all wearing bright orange and singing, "Rocky Top." Go if you can find a ticket. It's an experience you don't want to miss.

Ijams Nature Center
At Ijams Nature Center, visitors hike the 3.5 miles of trails that meander through meadows and along the bluffs overlooking the Tennessee River. On a football Saturday, watch as pleasure boats make their way to the University of Tennessee football game.

Volunteer Landing
What better way to take in the fall colors than a ride on Volunteer Princess as she motors the Tennessee River.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
You can't come to Knoxville without taking a day trip into Smoky Mountain National Park. My suggestion? Visit Cades Cove for a look at how pioneer families lived.
On a football Saturday, watch as pleasure boats make their way to the University of Tennessee football game.
