Hiking Cades Cove Loop | 100 miles hiked in the Smokies| Best Hikes in the Smokies

Hiking the Cades Cove Loop is the best way to really see the cove. The roughly 11 mile loop is full of abundant wildlife. During our hike, we saw 22 deer, and 4 bear. We hiked through a thunderstorm, and under clear skies. We also hit our 100 mile hiking mark in the Smokies on this adventure. So if you are looking for beautiful Mountain Views, tours through homes of early settlers, and abundant wildlife, then this video is for you!
on Wednesday’s during the summer, the National Park Service closes the loop to automobile traffic. Once a week the loop is only open to hikers and bicyclists alike. The slower pace of hiking allows you to see things you would have missed when driving the loop in your car. We highly recommend an early morning hike around Cades Cove.

Cades Cove is my most favorite place in the Smokys.

It is a great place! If you get the chance, hike the loop to really soak in the beauty of this place. Exploring the Cove on foot is a totally different experience, than in a car.

Great job. Was cool to see the drastic change in weather over a couple hours in the Smokies. A lot more wildlife seen than when we drive the loop. Inspiring me to try and hike this one during my next visit. Thanks for the motivation.

Thanks. We are no strangers to hiking in the rain and downpours, but there was a lot of nearby lightning this time that made it a little sketchy. That said, it is a great hike and the best way to take in the Cove. Go early for best chance to see wildlife.
