    I didn't realize there was a 6:42 in the am. Weird. Love the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains. We have never taken our bikes along... but perhaps we should next time! And we love seeing historic buildings along our travels. Enjoyed this video. Thanks for taking us along!

      Definitely take your bikes! And check the NPS website. It should be every Wednesday from 8am to 10am no cars!

    It was dark but later it was so beautiful and great place to ride a bike. Very nice video and how you describe everything thing is awsome too.

      It was nice to see the sun cut through the fog and change the day. :) I am almost done watching your video now too. Catching up

    It sure is a great way to slow one's pace to really get a good look at an area...one of the purchases I would like to make in 2021 is a fat-tire ebike...wow, you really caught the fog beautifully! Thanks for sharing....

    haha...great intro! "do you see this?!?...no you don't because it's dark!!"...haha! Hadn't ever considered biking Cades Cove Loop but it looks really amazing. We didn't realize you had the loop to yourself that early, but in hindsight that make sense. Cool stuff.

      This past year they kept changing the goalposts for a pilot program, but it’s usually 8am-10am every Wednesday no cars! We started around 7:15 but they opened the gates at 8am unexpectedly. It was still most carless because they go so slow!

    Mom and my dad and the family love Cades Cove. It was my parents favorite place to go. We used to live in NC. So they would travel there every year. Sometimes 3 times a year. My parents ashes are scattered in Cades Cove.
