【正文】 irit． Great Smoky Mountains， Tennessee／ North Carolina Fall in this national park is amazing． Just outside quaint Townsend， Tennessee， it is a bikeable and driveable 11mile loop(環(huán)形車道 )， but be sure to explore the cabins and fields on foot． Late October and early November is my favoufite time to visit； the colours are great and the weather is cool enough to allow nice walks and hikes． Kamikochi national park， Honshu In central Honshu， three hours’ drive north— east of Nagoya， is one of the most charming places in the Japanese Alps． The mountain slopes are covered with forests of larch and beech that blaze scarlet and orange in the autumn． Wisps of smoke hang in the still air above Yakedake volcano， and the glass surface of Taisho Pond perfectly reflects the trees and snowdusted mountains． 21． What season scenery does the text describe?
