Cades Cove

DISTANCE: 11 miles

ELEVATION: 1,188 ft

PACE NOTES: On a map this route looks full of promise, but the reality is it is not a great driver’s road. The busiest road in the mountains for tourists, but even if it wasn’t, the wildlife demand you crawl along this one. Old cabins, churches and a steam train that runs through take you back in time. Enjoy it for what it is – beautiful. Curve factor: 1/10
