The fall season in Tennessee is an attraction in itself. The leaves of the 16th state's various hardwood trees change from green to hues of yellow, red, and orange. Starting in mid- to late October, east Tennessee sees their arrival first. Then in early November, the fall foliage spreads to middle Tennessee. Finally, in mid- to late November, the sight breaks out across west Tennessee. Just a few weeks later, those bright colors disappear and the winter season arrives. But don't worry, they'll be back again the following year. Here are three fun areas that you can visit as the kaleidoscope of fall colors emerge in Tennessee. Sunny Side Trail About 90 miles outside of Kingsport is Sevierville, the hometown of country superstar Dolly Parton. A bronze statue of the singer sits in front of the courthouse and marks one end of the famous Sunny Side Trail. Also known as the Early Country Trail, this road course boasts almost 200 stops from the foot of the Smoky Mountains throughout the Tennessee Valley. Among the highlights is Dollywood, Parton's renowned amusement park in Pigeon Forge. Nearby is the small resort town of Gatlinburg which attracts millions of visitors annually. Historical and modern cultures blend as tourists ascend on towns such as Cosby, the Moonshine Capital of the World. more Cades Cove Loop The city of Townsend is 35 miles from Sevierville. It is home to the Cades Cove Loop which is a popular road excursion in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The single winding road is paved and stretches for 11 miles in only one direction. Due to the plentiful sights such as mountains and meadows, the drive can last a few hours. From May to September, only bicycle and pedestrian traffic are allowed two mornings per week. Most visitors enjoy the slow traveling pace, so they can stop and take pictures of their surroundings. Wildlife such as deer, black bears, fox, elk, and more have been spotted frequently. Please do not feed the animals. Cades Cove Loop is the ultimate scenic route. Cumberland Gap National Historical Park This park signifies where the borders of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia meet. Millions of years ago, the elements of wind and water created a gap in the Appalachian Mountain chain, specifically the Cumberland Mountain ridge. It provided a passage for early pioneers and settlers to use for trading and exploring. The gap is over 1,300 feet in altitude. On the Tennessee side, the park is approximately 80 miles from the Kingsport area near Harrogate. You can experience cave tours, hiking trails, and breathtaking overlooks on nearly 25,000 acres. There is no admission fee, but there are costs for camping and guided tours. As you can see, there are many destinations for a fall foliage road trip in Tennessee. From educational adventures to exploratory trails, there is something for everyone in your family or group. In roughly two hours, you could be driving up to a roadside attraction that you've only read about or returning to a favorite. Don't forget your camera or mobile device. You won't want to miss capturing some pieces of history and current day events.

Since then, Cheddar's has become a household name with more than 160 locations all over the eastern United States, but the food is just as good as ever.

1. Put Down Your Phone Each year, accidents caused by distracted driving injure nearly 400,000 people. Texting and taking calls while driving are some of the top distractions. One of the easiest ways to ensure your child's safety is to simply ignore your phone when you're behind the wheel. If you can't resist the urge to immediately respond to the sound of a text or a call coming in, put your phone in airplane mode or tuck it out of reach. Pull over in a safe place or install a hands-free system in your vehicle if you simply have to take calls while you're on the road. more 2. Keep Your Eyes on the Road While cell phones are some of the most common distractions, there are others to consider as well. Avoid eating or drinking while you drive. Whether you're taking a sip from a cup of coffee or opening a bag of trail mix, it takes your eyes and your attention off the road. Unhappy children are another common distraction. No matter how fussy your children are being, what they've dropped on the floor, or how loud they're screaming, taking your eyes off the road for even a second can cause an accident. Pull over if you need to tend to your children, and attach their toys to their car seats using plastic links to make sure they always stay within reach. 3. Install a Car Seat Properly A car seat is an absolute must for little ones. However, an astounding 73 percent of car seats are improperly installed. Be sure to carefully follow the instructions that come with your car seat or find a technician who can help you properly install your child's car seat for you. Remember, your children must stay in a car seat until they reach a certain height and weight, and they should ride only in the backseat until they are at least 12 years old. 4. Secure Yourself You've heard it a million times before — seat belts save lives. In fact, they save as many as 15,000 lives each year according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Seat belts help keep you from being thrown out of a vehicle, they spread out the force of a crash, and they prevent you from hitting your head on the steering wheel or dashboard. In addition to making sure you and your child are properly buckled in place, be sure to strap down any items that are lying around inside the vehicle. They could become projectiles if you suddenly slam on the brakes, causing injury to you and your loved ones. Use car anchors to hold down loose objects. Always keep these four child safety tips for the car in mind when you're out for a ride with your family. They could help save a life. Image Via Pixabay
