About this place:

Cades Cove is a serene and quiet location in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There is only one road giving access to the cove, and the journey to this tranquil location is not a short one, even if you're coming from Gatlinburg, the closest town. A long, narrow, and winding road leads you directly to Cades Cove, where an 11 mile loop can be either walked or driven. The mountains open up and a valley of horses, deer, wild turkey and various birds becomes alive at the first sign of daylight.

    While living in the south, I made it a point to visit the Smoky Mountains once a year. Each time I went I focused on one area. On this trip in the spring of 2007, I traveled deep into the mountains until I reached Cades Cove. This remote area of Tennessee provides visitors not only with beautiful scenery, but local history, hiking trails, camping areas, and many other recreational activities. I woke up extra early to shoot Cades Cove. It was very cold but being in this environment was totally worth it.
