It sounds so inviting and educational, too, but I think you'll need comfy shoes, too--or at least I know I would. I loved the poem, and the Smokey Mountains are absolutely beautiful to travel through.
Smiles, Carol

    Thank you, Carol. Yes if plan to walk you need comfortable shoe. You can drive, walk, rent a bike or a horse. I love to go there but at certain times there is a traffic the stop to get picture of bear or deer.

This is so charming! I love how you capture the spirit of Cades Cove. I thought you did a wonderful job of bringing to life the beauty of the place. The imagery of the settlers working the land and building a community feels so peaceful. Your words really make me want to visit it myself. Great job! Keep up the wonderful work!

    Thank you, Michael. It is a wonderful place to visit. There is bear, deer and other wildlife. You can rent bike, hike or ride horse or just drive though. Many settlers' cabins, churches, a grist mill and waterfalls, Sometimes, there is traffic. The roads are one way and you can't pass unless drivers pull over.

A cabin in the woods is my ideal spot for a vacation and I have done it a few times but you are definitely right about wearing some comfortable slacks because there isn't a modern convenience to be found and the clothes you wear will make a big difference. thanks for sharing.

    I love it there. Living in Tennesse, I visited many times. Sometimes there is a lot of traffic but you can rent bikes or ride horses through trails as well as drive.

Been there many times.

Poem captures the history and essence of Cade's Cove spot on.

Much to see there including bear and deer, and, oh yea, bumper-to-bumper traffic.

    Thank you, Brett. You are right about the traffic. Sometimes it takes forever to drive through, especially if someone spots a bear.
