There are few places as beautiful as the North Carolina mountains in the fall. The leaves turning colors, the cool, crisp air, and that wonderful rustling of leaves underfoot. Yes, fall is indeed a special time. It is also a great time to visit the North Carolina mountains, and now is the best time to start planning your fall getaway. Reservations fill fast in the fall so don't delay. Here are several tips to help you plan your Smoky Mountain fall getaway. 

Make a budget

There is no doubt that for many of us, now is a time when we have to be more careful with our money. Covid-19 has disrupted so many lives. However, if you are still looking to get away from it all, you can. And you can do so for a reasonable investment. Like any large purchase, it is always best to set up a quick budget. Budgets help prevent overspending and will help you plan how much to set aside before heading out on your vacation. 

Here are a few quick budgeting tips.

 - Use the envelope method: Save a few dollars each month and set it aside in an envelope. This can be for your vacation, dining out, or for the activities you want to try while in Bryson City. 

- Plan your activities and what you are willing/able to spend on them: Zip Lining or rafting might be worth the splurge! No matter which activities you choose, planning ahead is the best way to ensure you get to enjoy your choice. 

- Don't overuse credit cards: It is best to avoid splurging on a trip by using a high interest rate credit card. Instead, plan on paying cash as often as possible. You'll come home much more relaxed if you don't have a large credit card bill waiting in the mailbox.
