We went to Helen mid October. It’s a small Gatlinburg. Walk down one side of the road ….shops, shirts candies leather good trinkets good eating. The other side is the same. We walked the Anna Rudy falls which was beautiful and I’m sure now with the leaves is nice.
Had to drive not far from the main strip…….The cuckoo clock place was neat to see all the different kinds. There’s a huge antique house 3-4 stories you’ll get lost in. Really cool stuff.
One full day is enough to see the main strip. 3-4 hours for the Anna ruby fall walk. We’re early 60’s and may of been the youngest ones around there.
Look up live cam Helen ga. You can see the main drive.
