We spent a couple days at the Smokey Mountains. It was a beautiful place, but still during spring break on the east coast.
The eastern mountains aren't nearly as spectacular as the Rockys, but they have beautiful flowers and some nice rivers. (and a waterfall or two)
The main difference here is the type of trees. (from Jason's point of view)
We hiked a bit over a mile (all uphill) to see a waterfall.

On our drive, we also found a certain elevation that had some nice Trilliums, and they are distinctly different from the Western trilliums. (leaves are different shape, color inside, etc.)
We were a bit early for the higher elevation trees, but the ones that we did see showed nice colors. More reds and yellow/greens than we're used to.
It sounds like May is the best time in Spring for a visit, with trees all out, and full set of flowers blooming?
