I agree with you about the frustration with traffic! This is also why we only go in once in a while. I almost feel like a ranger needs to be stationed at the entrance with a sign that says "use pull-offs, no stopping in the road." It probably wouldn't help, but who knows. It's a pretty drive, but almost not worth the headache for us!✌️

Beautiful guys! We love Cades Cove!

So many fond memories of camping here throughout the years.

What a beautiful day you had to visit Cades Cove! So glad you got to see bears along the way. I know the traffic is frustrating, but at the end of the loop, turn right and visit the Campground Store. They have the BEST ice cream! And, you can invest in the Park by buying your ice cream there. Thanks for the video. It was great having Miranda in the video.

I wish the tourists would respect the land and the wildlife. We welcome everyone to our backyard, so to speak, but be responsible and respectful when you come to someone else's home.

Outstanding, thanks for taking us along.

My heart ♥️ Ohhh the memories! So nice to see this amazing place again! Thank you!!!

Nice job enjoy watching you two

Loved this one. I enjoyed the old buildings and scenery. The stopping of cars in front of us is the very reason we stopped going. The last time we went, it took every minute of 4 hours just to get through the loop. I said that would never happen again. I have no patience for people who don't show courtesy to others. This was a fantastic vlog! 🥰

One of our favorite places in the Smokies sledgehammered that like button stay safe awesome and blessed

Cades Cove does have many wonderful views and amazing buildings! I remember when you could travel the loops in 30-45 minutes!!! Great ride along!

Awesome ride thru the cove enjoyed the fantastic panoramic views!! Thanks!!

I was a great trip on the 11 mile loop thanks for taking us along enjoyed it

I love Cades Cove. I go and just take a whole day and enjoy it. I go knowing it will take a long time. It's a day of itself. I LOVE the bears!

Cool video! Love the cove. Thanks for sharing

Great video! I loved seeing the " 1st McDonald's " 😁

Nice drive along and I thank you!

I didn't see this great video as complaining, I saw it as very informative for what to expect. 👍🏻 and thank you for the name mention at the end, that made me really happy 😊💖

So cool enjoyed the ride

Great advice! It is nice to observe wildlife from a distance, but you also need to be conscious of others behind you by pulling off to the side. Heading to the Black Hills soon and can't wait to see the buffalo. However, I won't be in a car to block traffic. The smokys can get very congested. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful drive and views. Great video.

It is a beautiful place to visit, but I have to agree that the traffic can be frustrating. We experienced the same thing on our visit. Would like to go back on a not so busy day and take it all in, at a slow relaxed pace. Thanks for the honest review and another fun adventure.

Hopefully we will be there around Christmas this year (2022). What is the best time of day and what wildlife can we expect to see. We are so excited.

Cades Cove is one of our favorite places. We usually plan a whole day because of the jams. We were caught on a hike to that first cabin a few years ago with a mom and 3 baby bears that was stressful

I was there 3 days ago myself. Was up there Monday Tuesday and again on Thursday. Seen many bears.

I love Cades Cove, but as many times as I have been there, I have never seen a bear. I have seen deer, turkeys, horses, and even a coyote. But never a bear. Maybe they have been there, but I have missed them since they were so far off. We don't go there a lot, so I don't mind waiting in the occasional traffic. Though for people who would actually stop in the middle of the road, and get out of their cars, as Bill Engvall would say, "here's your sign."

I must have been there when you were there. I heard singing coming from that church when I was hiking nearby.

They need rangers out there more often enjoyed

Love cades cove I have been there many times.

Too many tourists, I lived in East Tennessee all my life. I remember when Pigeon Forge was nothing but farm land. This looks like allot places in East Tennessee.

I have gone through Cade’s Cove a number of times, it has some beautiful views. It can be aggravating when people park their cars in the road. I believe there are many more bears there now than there used to be. A much better chance of seeing a bear now.

I went down 1 of those cut through lanes. Seen a momma bear with 4 cubs. Then they all ran up a tree. Momma bear very fast and powerful.

Hello, can anyone tell me if the bypass has any steep segments of the road? I’m very scared when it comes to steep roads. Is there a turnaround?

How do you see any Wildlife by driving so fast?

If you're in a hurry, cades cove isn't for you. Go there with the expectation that you'll sit in bear Jams every once in a while. You say you see bears 50% of the time, but fly around the loop. Say what you want about not going the speed limit, you were going too fast if you want to see bears. When we are there, we let every car that gets behind us go by and I do laugh at all the bears people have passed by without realizing it because they're only looking for the ones in the road. 2 of the best encounters we have had happened only because we go slow and LISTEN. The one was in a tree above the truck that no one knew was there. The other was behind a bush we actually passed and I heard a twig snap. Put it in reverse and the bear walked right behind our truck. Slow it down, look, and listen. If you don't like the people, the most visited park in the country may not be for you.

Is it a steep drive coming from Sevierville?

I've been to Cades Cove I even made a video of it titled, "Welcome To Tennessee: The Attractions." on my KZfaq channel 😎 that gift shop is where I bought my Bear Key Chain.

I have seen so much wildlife there 🦃🦌🐻 Traffic can be super frustrating 😤 Weekends are out, for sure. I love exploring the cemeteries ⚰ I found out about a cave there that I want to see next time . Vandals should be punished to the greatest extent allowed by law😡 Thanks for sharing your adventures 🐾🦊🐺

Is there a particular day or times of day that you would recommend going to avoid all the traffic....early mornings, late afternoons etc ?

Awesome views of God's creation! Thanks for the ride!!

This is probably one of my most favorite videos that you've done since I've been watching you.🥰 I used to come down there every year 1999-2005 and things look like they've gotten drastically more crowded and busy. Any advice on when you could come and have the fewest crowds and traffic?🤔

Gone. Don't wanna listen to complaints.

I enjoyed your Cades Cove video even the funny joke about bad kids lol but seriously it was very enjoyable and relaxing but hey try 3 hour's in Cades Cove on a Sat have you ever been on a Sat before it's the worst mistake anyone could ever make I remember back in 2014 and 2015 you could go and there wasn't any traffic to deal with and it was actually worth going up to the mountains and enjoy it but now it is so busy with people it's not relaxing anymore because it's like going to New York or Los Angeles except you are in the mountains but have you ever gone through Townsend to Cades Cove before that's a good way to go but of course if a person is near or having no choice but to go that way now I like taking that way because you can get phone service in town there not like if you went through Gatlinburg and you love signal on the drive up more through the mountains but all in all It's always a good day when you see a bear usually when me and my girlfriend go we mainly see lot's of deer and turkey's I am always sharing my pictures on my social media because some ofy friends live out of town and enjoy seeing the deer and whatever wildlife I am able to take a picture of and no don't stop in the road for pictures either always pull over and since traffic is so bad I just walk to wherever my vehicle is in traffic as my girlfriend is in it.

Was that a bear in the field towards the left side of the screen? About 8:51-9:00?

Will you see bears in the winter or are they hibernating?

I know it’s busy there right now , how long “ could “ it take to do cases cove ?

Im just confused about so many people hiking in the park when there are thousands of bears in the same area.. are there ever attacks on hikers?

Can't wait to take my grandkids and tell them were going to McDonald's 😊

This is my first time watching and it seems to be a lot of complaining going on, I’ve never been to Cades Cove and from what I’ve seen I don’t think I want to.

Cades cove, just another smoky mountains tourist trap. Commerce has ruined the smokies. Too many better places to go. You seen one bear, you've seen them all. better yet, stay home and watch bears on KZfaq if that's all you're after.

Is he gay ?no offense
