Sounds like you'll be at the right place at about the right time. In GSMNP, the general rule is that color peaks near the beginning of October (about now) on the mountain tops and moves down the mountain such that the valleys are at their peak in late October (with the show mostly over by the 1st of November).

You can track the color changes with the GSMNP web cams: http://www.nps.gov/grsm/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm

I have to agree. That sounds about the ideal time for leaf color. I'm hoping to do a long weekend hike in North Ga over the 24, 25 and 26th. Should be great color and weather. :)
