Wow!!! No crowds or long lines of cars, just mother nature and her beauty❤ This is wonderful!😊

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

It was great!

[@tommyromans7893]

My wife and I really enjoy your videos! We just discovered them. We have been there and in the Smokies many times but never in the winter months. It was beautiful. THANKS

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Welcome Tommy, we are happy to have you virtually join where we go!

[@AngelGranni]

Very nice ride through the Cove. Thank you. You have a great narrative voice which makes your videos pleassant to watch. I truely enjoyed the added piano music. Was a relaxing video to watch. Ashame the bears weren't out to greet you today. 😢

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Glad you enjoyed it Angel! I don't blame them...It was cold! 🥶😆

[@StevenSmith-pt8rz]

Bears were probably in hibernation.

[@barnescsp]

Brought back great memories of Summers and Christmas with my Grandparents in the cove. Grandaddy loved Cades Cove and knew several of the families before they left. Thank you!

Happy to bring back great memories barnescsp!

How awesome to have the whole place to yourself (well, you and the deer)! Great video, thanks for sharing the experience!

[@bettysuewyatt6170]

Loved the video. The mountain ranges covered in snow was beautiful. How exciting to see all the deer and turkeys. Thanks for braving the cold to take a bike ride in the cove to share with us.

[@godisgoodwoodworks4801]

Every time we visit Cade's Cove (once each summer), I am struck by the natural beauty of the landscape. I always think "If there are places this beautiful on the Earth, how stunning must the beauty of Heaven be?" We speak often about retiring to East Tennessee. If we do, I could see us heading up to Cade's Cove several times every year. I received a book about that area for Christmas, and reading the true stories in it makes me want to be there even more.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Enjoy the book! We plan to do more videos here this year as we love going on Wednesdays when they close it down for just bikes & pedestrians, it's our favorite time to go!

[@StevenSmith-pt8rz]

Next time you go through Cades Cove walk through the cemeteries and read the dates of death on the headstones. I believe the Cove population was hit hard by the Spanish Flu of the 19 teens.

[@godisgoodwoodworks4801]

@@StevenSmith-pt8rz We did that at one of the primitive churches in the Cove, and it's shocking how old some of those gravesites are. I recall seeing lots of loose change and even some paper currency placed on several of the markers. Not sure what that tradition is all about. We were intrigued by it.

[@dianesmith618]

I am really enjoying the winter videos. This one was especially enjoyable with the beautiful scenery and the music. You knocked this one out of the park! (A little "dad" joke) 😆 Thank you for braving the elements to bring us these videos.

[@denisegfromkentucky9776]

I loved this video! I can’t believe that other than a couple of vehicles that were ahead of you, basically you had the Cove all to yourself! It was so relaxing to watch and I loved seeing all the animals you captured on video. My husband and I always enjoy watching your videos. You have such a sweet family and you do an awesome job narrating your videos. Stay safe!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

[@reneebarrow4697]

Glad you got to see quite a bit of wildlife. The last few times we were there, we hardly saw any. Many years ago, when I was a lot younger, you could go to Cades Cove and see hundreds of deer. They were all over the place. An occasional bear. Bears were really rare back then. My mom would get a piece of paper and make columns for deer, turkey, and others and keep up with the total that we saw. That was her favorite thing to do besides looking at God's beautiful creations and being with family. She has been gone only 4 years today, but seems like an eternity. A couple of times we saw up to 180 deer. The rest of the times was 80 to 100. I'm talking about at least 55 years ago. I don't know where all of the wildlife has gone. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it, as I do all of your videos. I hope you got thawed out. Next, getting something to cover your face from the cold. 22 tonight in the NW Florida Panhandle. Great job. God bless ❤

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

wow...180 deer! We appreciate your support Renee!

[@robertandnancy6356]

Beautiful! Loved the music too! Thank you for sharing!

[@DuaneRussell-jm5rx]

We have always liked the Cades Cove videos you have shared. This one I would say is number one. Beautiful mountains and wildlife. Ice makes unique sculptures. Without watching again I would say 40 plus deer on this trip. Thanks Ryan. Even after 11 visits we have not drove the Cades Cove loop yet. So many things to do and see when there.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Glad you enjoyed it Duane & Pete!

[@pujolsclark22]

Awesome video dude! When u were riding the bike with the music playing, it almost felt like a quasi Sky-Fly-esque ride. Felt professional. Great camera work and commentary. Thanks for freezing your butt off to share!

What a beautiful bike ride and thank you for taking me along with you on your ride through Cades Cove! I bet that looked like a winter wonderland with snow all over. The icicles made everything look more beautiful! Really enjoyed your video.

My wife and I honeymooned in Townsend 30 years ago. When you rode through the cove back then, you would "easily" see a hundred deer at dusk. It was pretty amazing. You could park and all at once they would just materialize every where in the fields.

Cades Cove is a favorite place of mine up there. I was surprised there wasn't more snow everywhere than there was. I lost count of the deer but I do know it was well more than 20, probably closer to 30 deer.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Some else in the comments said they counted 48 deer, plus 11 turkeys!

Thank you for the video. Such a beautiful place. It would have been nice to have seen more of the structures, especially around the Cable Home and Mill. But just to take the rtide was great! I remember so much of it. I am glad they are still preserving the buildings, land and history - I last saw Cades Cove in person 50 years ago!

I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville back in the late 70s and after spending many weekends studying under the trees in Cades Cove, I promised myself that no matter what I did in life or where I went, I would retire back in the Smokies. 46 years, world-travel, and three careers later, I settled down only 40 miles from here, deeper in the mountains. Your video is a memory bomb, igniting thoughts of the best times in my youth. Thank You.

[@danhutson3460]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful view of Cades Cove. The first time my parents & I saw this was August 1985. It was crowded, but we had a wonderful time. Since I was a single man, I took my parents with me whenever I took a vacation. After this trip, we continued to return in April or May & September, as the motel rates were not as expensive & there were not as many people. We continued to make this trek until 2000. Of course every time we took our mountain vacation, we had to go to Cades Cove. We saw it as a kind of pilgrimage, to renew ourselves & enjoy the wildlife & the flora. Sometimes we would pull off to the side of the road, & spread a blanket, so we could have a pic nic. That was so much fun! I hope to take another trip in April or May this year, but I will have to make it alone, as my parents have passed. Keep making these videos, as I for one, will look forward to them.

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Sounds like great memories! We will keep making more videos like this, thanks Dan!

[@davidreed4661]

We'll be there in April. Can't wait!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Awesome, hope you have a great time in APR!

[@debbiel9843]

Just like you lost count of the # of deer you saw, I lost count of the number of times I said 'oh my gosh' because of all the beautiful scenery. Easily the best and most enjoyable video of winter in Cades Cove I have ever seen. Never been there during this time of year, but it's now on my list!

[@AdventureIsOutThere]

Hopefully you can someday!

Hi There! Your video was so much fun to watch. I hope to ride my bike around Cades Cove Loop one day. Spectacular scenery. So many deer. Your choice of music was inspired. GREAT JOB!!!

[@edwardrahm5435]

Have biked the loop many times over the last 50 years. The electric bikes look very appealing, especially as we age. Did motorcycles for 50 years (sport bikes and cruisers) but the E Bikes look like they could even be more fun in certain places.

I thought there would be more snow too. It was still neat to see what was there!
