That makes me so happy to hear those kind words. Cades Cove is one of the most beautiful places on Earth that I have visited so far. Thanks for watching my video.

It was very hard to see through the fog. We couldn’t even see where the mountains were for a very long time. It started clearing out right before we left. Even though we couldn’t see much, I liked how it looked. Thanks for watching!

That has happened to us as well a lot over the years. We try to be there around sunrise now so we can get ahead of everyone, but still enjoy the beauty of Cades Cove.

I’m happy that you loved it. Thanks for watching!

It’s one of my favorite places as well. I try to visit there every time I’m in the area too. I have made several videos there the last couple of years, but this is my most popular one. Thanks for watching!

@@TravelingtheSoutheast it was a magical mystical day there. Lol.

Some people do need to do that, but the parking spaces don’t exist to hold such a large amount of people. If they did have trams, then I’m fairly certain that the horse pasture would become the parking lot, and to me, that would take away from the beauty of Cades Cove. The only other option would be to turn the festival area in Townsend into a parking area, and take the people up to Cades Cove from there.

@@TravelingtheSoutheast Yeah, parking would be an issue. Traffic is one now though. Ive seen it much worse than depicted in the video.

@@yarply12 The reason the traffic isn’t bad in the video is because I try to get there around the time they open. I can usually avoid the crowds if I go early. I have been in those hour long bear jams. I have been behind the people that sit for 30 minutes looking at deer and turkeys. I have been in front of the impatient people laying down on their horns because they are in a hurry, but I can’t move because I’m stuck as well. I don’t know if the traffic would be better or worse if they at least put two lanes in for traffic. I know that everyone wants to see the wildlife when they visit, but if they are blocking the road, they are preventing everyone else that is visiting the same opportunity as they have.

I looked him up. His work is definitely beautiful. We met an artist at the Townsend Visitor Center several years ago that was selling their artwork of Cades Cove. We bought several small prints, but I can’t remember his name right now.

@@TravelingtheSoutheast Robert Tino is another one I like also for that area.

I just read about that place the other day when the railroad museum shared it on their Facebook page. I’m going to try to go there when I visit in the fall.
