The Cades Cove Loop winds for 11 miles through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is a paved path that has a 4mi, 8mi, or 11 mi one way loop where you’ll get the chance to see some incredible wildlife, including black bears. It is typically open for automobiles to drive through; however, on Wednesdays from May to the beginning of September, it is closed to automobiles. It is ALWAYS open to pedestrians, making it really nice for biking or walking on Wednesdays. Tip: to avoid all the traffic, rent bikes at the Cades Cove Campground Store (or bring your own). Note: go early to get a bike: it is first come first serve. They will also not rent if it is raining. Go early near dawn or dusk to see more wildlife, and don't be afraid to take some of the roads in the center of the loop for a chance to see some bears depending on the time of year. Just make sure to check hours as the loop road is closed to motor vehicles during certain times of day through the week. Take a picnic with you and sit in a beautiful field and let the kids run around. Make sure you go early. It takes a while and sometimes traffic backs up. They stop allowing visitors at dusk. Europeans settled the Cades Cove area between 1818 and 1821. Today, visitors to Cades Cove can enjoy the largest variety of historic buildings in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Plan to get out and visit the restored buildings.

The highest point of Tennessee! It is only open for some of the year and closes for winter. The best views in the entire park as it is the highest elevation you can drive to. 1.2 miles round trip, very popular but steep hike. Great sunset or sunrise hike; go early to avoid the crowds. You can see 7 states from this vantage point. The hike, up a paved path, takes about 20 or 30 minutes to get to the top. Be sure to go on a clear day. Temperatures can be 10-20 degrees cooler, so take appropriate clothing.
