Modern Mountain Nests Smoky Mountain Guidebook
Sightseeing
Pro Tip: Go early in the morning or in the evening. This is when the animals are most active and traffic is not as bad. Just make sure you allow yourself enough daylight to be able to spot the wildlife. Cades Cove is all about going slow, taking in the sights, and getting out to explore.
