I also have taken rocks from the streams just little ones. I carry one particular rock with me at all times. I don't know why but it's my favorite thing I have and for some reason it makes me feel safe and at peace. Can't wait to go in May. Been all over our country, every state, this by far is the best.
To me, personally, Cades Cove is the most peaceful and beautiful place in our country. I wish I could live there. In the words of Blake Shelton, this is God's country. Thank you for posting this beautiful video.
I have been to Cades Cove many times over the years. I love the place, but I love everything about the area up there. I used to own a cabin two miles from Dollywood, and had planned on retireing there, but a divorce took care of that. The first trip my now wife and I took was to East Tennessee. I really need to get back up there one more time since time is catching up with me.
The first year I went to Cades Cove was 1957. After spending a week at Smokemont and all of its rain - Cades Cove was a welcome adventure. My younger brother and I walked the loop road - 12 miles around with our dog on a leash. We spent two weeks there, driving down to Townsend for groceries every few days. Never got to see any turkeys and bears were not as plentiful as they had been at Smokemont. The weather was wonderful - no rain. My family went back every summer until I went in the Marines.
Nice drive thru cades cove. Got married in Pigeon Forge at a cabin rental 2006 from st.louid mo. Aunt and uncle lived in Morristown Tenn and you could see the Cumberland Gap from their back yard. It was very cool to see. My parents came on greyhound. My aunt suggested a trip thru cades cove and according to my mom and aunt both half sisters said we had past family members buiried around 1 of the little churches on the cades cove drive. I loved the drive in and thru Gatlinburg and thru cades cove. Although we did not see any bears we did see wild turkey and deer and foxes etc. We did stop at the gift shop in cades cove where i purchased a black bear claw necklace. I wore it all the time. I loved that necklace and need a return trip to hopefully see the black bears and secure a new black bear claw necklace. Nice to see this video My first time and only time i have been in Tennessee so far. M
We have been to the cove but watching your video makes me want to go back and find your trail to hike it was beautiful just driving through the cove is beautiful loved it thanks for showing
Had a friend whose father owned hundreds of acres bordering the park and they had some beautiful scenes just like this. It really should be part of the park system it's that nice.
Went to cades cove on Dec 21. The mill was completely frozen with icicyles. What a beautiful sight. The streams behind the mill are a must to walk the trails and explore. Saw a few bear and many deer. Agreed go early so that traffic isn’t too backed up
GORGEOUS!! I wish I knew where this trail was in the Cove. We are going for a week in April. This would be so peaceful! Thanks for sharing your video! God bless.
I have watched half of the video and now i have to detour shortly. Brother Donnie this brings such peace to my soul along with the Lord. I will comment again once i finish this tonight. God Bless
Want to get a feel for the cove before it was parkified watch a movie call "A Walk in the Spring Rain". My delight and I were in the cove before that movie. We were hunting her ancestors' graves.
I just absolutely love the Smoky mountains it is a wonderful place to be. I would not want to live there cuz it just gets too cold. It does snow and it does ice over so I have no interest only in the summer, spring or fall.
the back country in Smokey Mt is very strange. During summer months it's extremely quite, no birds, no insects, no wind ,,, dead silence ,,, can't understand it.
Several years ago, I was trout fishing in Laurel Creek just above the tunnel shown at the first of this video...A car pulled into that pullover right past the tunnel and a lady got out with her camera... She said "Excuse me, sir! Could you catch a fish so I can get a picture???" I laughed and said "Well, how big do you want the fish???" Before she could say anything, her husband got out and said "Get in the car!!! GET IN THE CAR!!!! Do you know how stupid that question was????"
What month were y’all there? I’m planning to take my Dad, who is almost 92, to Cades Cove this year and I would really LOVE for him to be able to see a bear. We will only be able to drive through of course. I’m researching the best times for that.
Man what an excellent video. The narration was perfect, the music was really great and the scenes were beautiful. I subbed. Not spamming your comments but I have a song for download on our latest video. I know free music can be had to come by sometimes. I'm a novice musician at best but i do enjoy making music. I got burned out on the TH-cam music library so I like to make my own when I can.
@@crazygoodadventures6693 That's great that your son writes. It's a nice side hobby. I don't expect I'll ever win any Grammys and really wouldn't want to anyway..lol. Those aren't my kind of people. Yall have a great day.
Brother you won’t find a Cemetery in those Smoky Mountains and those Churches in the Cove all have my family and ancestors in them all. Abbott, Hembree, Godfrey, Brewer, Brickey, Hatcher, Walker. Some more further out
Did you really just call ANYTHING..literally anything in Tremont a secret? 😂 Spruce Flats and Indian Flats and then Middle Prong. Ohh let me guess…you just moved here with the rest of the planet.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, we did just move to Tennessee from Texas, the Tremont area is not talked about that much, we were told about it from a friend that used to live in Townsend. We are on a journey to explore Tennessee and the Smokies....hope you watch more videos...we have a lot coming
@@crazygoodadventures6693 you only think Tremont isn’t known or whatever because you just moved here. Because you don’t know the area doesn’t mean that the area isn’t well known and worn out by all this new traffic with all their new trash and vandalism and flower poaching. It’s so overwhelmed with traffic now that the wildflowers which used to grow along the sides of the road were killed by the half foot of dust and dirt that collected on them from cars…and car exhaust. Social media totally destroyed that area just like the rest of the park. It used to be peaceful and quiet and quite literally rarely used. That was just 10 years ago. TH-camrs thinking they are showing something new about the Smokies just because they don’t know the Smokies are another plague to East Tennessee. Mountainsides that used to be green and beautiful are now just mountainsides of houses and cabins. Every view has been taken away of the mountains unless you’re inside the park. You’re not going to become famous for repeating what’s already been done. But of course you, like so so so sooooo many before you move here thinking they’re going to make a buck off of the destroyed peace. I’ve watched my home die…my home for every second of almost 60 years. I’m from Townsend. I won’t be watching your videos…you’re part of the problem but I know you won’t see it because you don’t love East Tennessee…you’re just using it to get a little attention.
@@kelliesharpe1067what an ugly disgusting comment. These people just want to share their adventures with others. I didn't see your "home" in the video. This may be hard to take but, you do not own the Smokies! You may own a piece of property there but God created that place for everyone to enjoy! That's why it's known as a state park!
your video brought me peace and joy when I cant be there in person. ever so grateful to you and mother nature. THX
thanks for watching, we really enjoy the smokies

America the Beautiful I love all the waterfalls thank you

Beautiful Country, I love them Smokey Mountains. I can't wait to get back up there. It's so pretty there. ❤ ❤

the trail is past the Tremont area...3 mile gravel road that leads to a horse trail
Cades Cove had over 300 families. My grandfather Rev. JC Tipton lived there.
I love cades cove and always thought it was like heaven. I will go early next time to beat the crowds. Very nice video and your voice is perfect.
thanks, its so much better when you're not in bumper to bumper traffic
A very early Sunrise walk before the gate opens is very peaceful and you'll see wildlife a plenty.
I live 35 miles from Cades Cove and I haven't been there in years! Time for a trip.
I had a red wolf that had been radio collared cross the road in front of my car in Cades Cove in 1994. They are endangered, and few were left.
Enjoyed your video Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Beautiful! I miss going to the Smoky Mountains when I was a kid with my family. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching

A piece of heavan on earth ! That place is beautiful !! 👍
I have watched half of the video and now i have to detour shortly. Brother Donnie this brings such peace to my soul along with the Lord. I will comment again once i finish this tonight. God Bless
Aman
Another beautiful place around the smoke is his other side of the chip in the bottom of it is Tallulah falls, oh my God it is so beautiful.
We'll look for it on our next trip, thanks for the info, and thanks for watching
So beautiful
Want to get a feel for the cove before it was parkified watch a movie call "A Walk in the Spring Rain". My delight and I were in the cove before that movie. We were hunting her ancestors' graves.

that must be when bigfoot is around...lol
I was out on a trail in the Jersey Pinelands today.
Glad I was in an enclosed LR4 and not an open Jeep. The insects were looking for fresh meat 😞
Several years ago, I was trout fishing in Laurel Creek just above the tunnel shown at the first of this video...A car pulled into that pullover right past the tunnel and a lady got out with her camera...
She said "Excuse me, sir! Could you catch a fish so I can get a picture???"

Before she could say anything, her husband got out and said "Get in the car!!! GET IN THE CAR!!!! Do you know how stupid that question was????"
that's funny
That was Rod Law in that old blue ford,he had family there at Cades Cove and can tell you anything about it you wanna know
Love his truck
Yes me too!
Great video, pause it at :13 and read that sign. There's no "e" in Smoky. 😂
lol, I missed that
I love the commentary at the beginning of this video!
Thanks, we've got a lot more coming

By the way, I just ran across your channel today and love it. I “Liked” the video and Subscribed
@@bonniejackson2440 we were there in December, go early morning or close to sunset for the best chance for wildlife
