There are quite a few states that like to claim autumn as their state’s “crown jewel” of seasons, but there is only one state that can truly claim the most beautiful title: Tennessee. This southern sleeper hit of a state may not hold the clout of Connecticut, but it’s hills and valleys, the great Mississippi to the north and the mountains to the east truly elevate Tennessee to a point of autumnal fame. Care to take a look?
