    Thank u so much for sharing this BEAUTIFUL RIDE THROUGH CADES COVE!!!!! My Daughter fell in Love with Cade’s Cove every since the first time she seen it!!❤️ &
    The 🇺🇸Pearl Harbor Tree🇺🇸 was AWESOME!!!! I never knew it existed
    & as Dawn said u can Never see the true Beauty of Cade’s Cove unless u get up & be out there by daylight because of all the Cars & Trucks! Traffic is HORRIBLE through there! My daughter will get up & go out there by daybreak she has some AMAZING photos of Deer,Mommy Skunks with babies,Momma Bear with baby bears,Turkeys, Snakes, almost any form of wildlife that u can imagine in that area of Tennessee❤️

    This video highlighted why we do not go to Cades
    Cove, anymore. It is always too crowded. This video showed the beauty and serenity of the cove.....not the traffic, and hordes of people and the smell of car exhaust. Thanks for this

    Cades Cove is always beautiful no matter what time of the year. Wow....1948!! So glad they are repairing it! Love the snow on the mountains. Thanks for sharing.

  • @michaelmasserang8922
    @michaelmasserang8922 4 роки тому +1

    This is awesome. What a special place. And with nobody there? Even better. To be able to hear the wind and the wildlife without cars breaking and sudden bear jams would certainly add a special bonus to the visit. As the video continues, you can hear how earthly still it is. A drive down Parson's Branch Rd. on a day like this would be spectacular. To see all of those old growth trees on a winter day would be something to see. Maybe some day the park will receive the funding to open that section back up. Based on what the Rangers say, it could be years before it reopens. This would have been a fun day to see the cove in winter. You would think the colors would look dull but it is just the opposite. It looks like you had a nice day.

    Beautiful! I so love the Smoky Mountains and can't wait to come back in May for our annual girl cousins trip there. I missed last year's trip because I had just finished chemo for breast cancer. Chemo knocked me out of my trip last year but I plan to be there this year...with bells on ;) I SO enjoy all of your Smokies videos. Keep them coming please. Blessings, Will and Dawn

    I have seen Cades Cove like this a few times before......and it was like heaven on earth!! It reminds me of going to my grandparents house in east Tennessee when I was growing up. You could hear nothing but the sounds of nature for miles around. Hopefully the wildlife will get a much needed rest from all the human tourists these next 2 months. Great video......I'll be watching this one over and over again!! 💕

I will be in the area this coming Sunday, May 31st, so we're planning on going to Cades Cove first thing in the morning maybe on Monday or Tuesday hoping there won't be as many people there!

We were there the second week of December and were only able to make it as far as the campground, the loop road was closed for whatever reason. We plan on going back in March after the construction is over with and hope to enjoy Cades Cove.

    Laying in our tent listening to the red wolves howl my late wife getting up in the middle of the night and tripping over a deer that was needed down right next to the tent, the hike up to Rainbow Falls, and the climb up Clingmans Dome, eating dinner at Stella Partons in Pigeon Forge, good memories of one of the best trips we ever took

  • @vinsoriano493

    There is a road into the cove that starts just south of the museum and leads to a lake just outside the park, and a state highway, it might be closed in the winter though.
