Things To Do
Cades Cove Loop Road
Take a drive through Cades Cove, a GSMNP favorite! Pack a picnic to take to the campground if you feel so inclined. NOTE: This is an 11-mile one-way loop road and once you've started, you have to go the whole way, there is no turning back! It is a popular spot in the spring, and you should expect it to take at least two hours.
Laurel Falls Trail
An easy hike with a great payoff. One of our favorites. 2.6 miles, estimated time is two hours (including stopping at the top for a rest and photos).
Tuckaleechee Caverns
Take a tour through these beautiful caves for $18.
Foothills Parkway
Another great driving tour through the Smokies, with plenty of spots to stop and take pictures, eat a picnic, or take in the scenery. This trip spans 38 miles, but there are plenty of spots to stop, take photos, eat a picnic, or turn around if time gets away from you!
