Cades Cove is, without a doubt, the most popular place in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Tour for wildlife viewing and photography.
This secluded valley draws millions of visitors every year and the 11-mile drive is a highlight in any season, from newborn animals in spring to the gorgeous fall colors. Make sure to keep a lookout for wildlife: black bears, white tailed deer and elk are often seen grazing, lazing and seemingly posing for photos in the fields.
