The little cemetery is the Lequire Cemetery. Keep walking down to the creek then follow it to the right and theres the Graveyard Hill Cemetery

I prefer Roaring Forks! I’ve been to both many times.

It is so very important to not only tell the stories of the past - but to see these places as they were back then. Preservation of our histories is vital to pass on to the next generations so they can see how life was and hopefully keep telling the stories. Thank you so very much for this video - it brings a sense of peace along with determination to face the future from the strength of those who lived before me. 💖

If you go to gold hill nc keep your kids close. I was born and raised there it was hell live there😢

Thank you Sir. We will be there in May for the 1st time! 😊❤

Roaring Fork ❤

Been to Cades Cove twice, beautiful! Next time i'm gonna give Roaring Fork a shot.

Can’t pick - I love both

I have been to both; I actually visited Caves Coves first-which I can not wait to be done and over with. A couple years later, I visited Roaring Fork-I absolutely love it because of all the trees, creeks, hiking trails. To me, there is no comparison between the two. I don’t think I will ever revisit Caves Cove.

Thank you for the video! I really enjoyed it🙂 We will be in the Smokies for the 1st time , the end of October. My tendency is Cades Cove, but if we'll find the time, we will also do Roaring Forks...All the best to you and your family. Greetings from Germany

Great video. As for the house with 3 front doors, my Grandfather had a house with 3 front doors for fire safety.. If the house catches fire they wanted to be able to get out. It also gave extra ventilation in the summer. Thanks for giving us a preview.

My family and I will be in Gatlinburg 2023 September 23 - 30. We need to choose between these two drives.

Gotta love these ol hills and hollers here in tn no other place like it buddy. We live in scott co.

when's the best time go

Just an fyi...."pastoral" only has 3 syllables...."pass-tor-al", not "pass-tor-ee-al." Just sayin'

Thanks for taking us along. I enjoyed it!

I certainly enjoy smoky mountain videos like this!! Hard to find many these days.

Beautiful trail and a great video about your adventure! Looks wonderful out there and the cabin is just the perfect shelter!

We visited cades cove last week and seen 14 bears! Takes a while to get through it but worth the time.

Roaring fork would be my choice...great hikes and very scenic drive

Roaring Fork! I love the streams and the sound of rushing water there. I have also seen several bears on the drive.. The best time to go is in the late afternoon early evening. I like Cades Cove for the history, and the open meadow at the start. but the actual scenery does not compare to Roaring Fork for me. The bears I have seen at Cades Cove have been off in the distance.

Nice vid, just be careful of the government.

Thanks for all your recommendations.

What time is early? 8am what time did you film this?

Have a Gatlinburg trip planned this May. Would love to do both but isn't Cades Cove much further than Roaring Fork from Gatlinburg? Also, planning to drive from Cherokee to Gatlinburg as we are flying into Asheville..

I'd choose cades cove....and then I'd hit parsons branch road... don't like the crowded parked cars on roaring fork.

Thanks for taking us along!

As a kid I used to like to catch these geese and pick them up. This is a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful we haven't been to this one!

Nice! Where’s that? Thnx

If those mountains could talk. Our family spent many a weekend in the Great Smokey Mountains but never knew about this. Thank you.

My aunt married Frances teaster but they are buried in n c so cool

Did the one say ogle or bogle as in john bogle cole?

This can actually be A ASMR. Im Impressed with your Work and how you spent your Time. It actually felt like my ears were covered in Water im not lying. Hopefuly its a Short trial of the Golden play Button!

Beautiful background Uncle Jeff. Are you enjoying your new job/surroundings/ etc? btw - stop using the royal “we” when referring to yourself you goofus. ❤

🥶🥶

this would've been a lot better if you did a voiceover on some pictures or video. as it is it's jarring going back and forth between cades cove and you talking

If not a fan of heights and roadside drop offs, then your best bet is Cades Cove. Both are great to visit and offer great photo opportunities of historic buildings.

We moved to Walland in September a year ago and have visited Cades Cove maybe 30 times, Roaring Fork about half that. Based on our experiences, for bear sightings, Roaring Fork. We've observed bears every visit. Our favorite is Cades Cove. The late afternoon sun hitting the mountains, especially this time of year, never gets old.

I would choose Roaring Fork a million times over Cades Cove. We visited Cades Coves on our first trip to Gatlinburg and we were sorely disappointed. The crowd is just too much. And it looks like some of the back roads here where I live so it wasn't as exciting for us. Roaring Fork was like a paradise with all the rock filled creeks, rhododendrons...just beautiful! Roaring Fork is one trail that will always be in our itinerary.

Lovely

Cades Cove most definitely love roaring forks also. But the beauty of cage code matches that no other

the music should be cut so you can enjoy the sounds of nature
