Joining The Wildlife In Cades Cove (VIDEO)

Posted: 02/22/2012 7:00 am

Cades Cove, in Great Smokey Mountains National Park, attracts some two million visitors each year. Take a tour of the eleven mile loop and you will quickly see why: Eleven historic sites featuring homesteads, mills and churches serve as backdrop to a wide array of wildlife. White tail dear, black bear, coyote and a variety of other birds and mammals can be seen from the comfort of the car, which, is where most people stay. Despite the large crowds a brief walk down quiet path or into an open meadow is all that is required to find some quiet solitude.

Love Cades Cove. Not so much now since it is tourist heaven. 50 years ago it was one of the last truely beautiful spots in the southern Appalachians.
