Witness nature's living light show as thousands of fireflies transform a forest into a magical wonderland of blinking lights. Great Smoky Mountains National Park's synchronous fireflies in late May/early June offer the most spectacular displays, but local firefly populations can be found in many temperate regions. Arrive just after sunset and let your eyes adjust to the darkness.
