Trees green yet in Smokies May 2015?

Hi,

I am doing a 1 week trip to The Great Smoky Mountains in the first week of May. Any members nearby would know if the deciduous trees are green yet? I know it is spring flower season there now.

I'm in northeast Georgia and the ttess here are. I very steongly believe the Smokies are as well.

The buds are thick and the leaves just starting to fill in East KY which is about 200 miles north of the Smokies so I am sure the foliage is getting thick down there by now.

My son lives in middle TN and they are already leafed out.

Here are a couple of live cams so you can check for yourself when the sun is up. http://www.nps.gov/grsm/learn/photos...ia/webcams.htm

Hi all,

Thanks for the information. The trees were definitely green; light green that is!

I had a great time as usual, crossing off another national park off my list. My traveling partner made it through a few hikes which I did not think she would be able to do or enjoy. So that was good. Enjoy the photos of Smokies spring!
