Getting around

Being in the foothills of The Great Smoky Mountains your exploration possibilities are unlimited. Pack a lunch and head out to Cades Cove for the day. Auto-tour the eleven mile one-way loop with stops marked along the way to experience what early settlers to the area would have endured. Stretch your legs with a hike along one of the numerous trails beginning within Cades Cove. In early spring don’t miss out on the synchronized fireflies, one of the only places in the world to experience this phenomenon.
