Cades Cove is the most popular destination in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This beautiful Appalachian valley boasts 360 degree views of the Smoky Mountains and is home to dozens of preserved historic structures from the Cove’s history.
Cades Cove is open year-round. The Cades Cove Loop Road hours are daily from sunrise till sunset.
I got to visit Great Smoky Mountains several times while living in the South. Between the endless waterfalls, hiking trails, wildlife, and history, there is so much to explore in Cades Cove.
