There's still time left for Amazon Prime Deals!! www.amazon.com/shop/lifererouted What was your favorite part of this week's video?! Let us know down below!! 👇👇👇👇

[@brendansheehan6272]

Cades Cove is closed once a week to cars. Bicycling, walking and running only. Beautiful loop. Really easy ride. Best way to see the park!

[@lifererouted]

That sounds amazing!

[@TheTnWalkers]

@@lifererouted It's not closed on Wednesday's anymore until next year.

[@lifererouted]

Good to know!

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is another beautiful drive out of Gatlinburg. Turn up the road beside of the Space Needle up the side of Mtn LeConte. It had hikes off of it+you can hike to top of the mtn. You might see the animals that trek up supplies for the Lodge up there. They take the supplies at the beginning of the season by helicopter. Really enjoyed your video, as I always do. Thank you.

[@lifererouted]

Oh wow, we'll have to check that out next time we visit! That's awesome Betty Jo. Thank you so much 🥰

[@FridaysForever]

So nice to see you guys in the Smoky Mountains!

[@lifererouted]

We had such a good time there!

[@chucktrisdale3539]

The Smoky Mountains are our Go to. We travel there about once per year. We haven't stayed where you are staying, but the one we stay at EVERY time is Honeysuckle Meadows in Wears Valley, just to your west about 5 miles. We love that place. Worth just driving out to take a look while y'all are there, if you still happen to be there

[@chucktrisdale3539]

If you get a great clear day and want a driveable scenic view head up to clingmans dome and Newfound Gap. But its only worth it if a clear day. You have a million miles of great hikes right there. My favorite, well I have a few... but one of my favorites is Chimney Tops. Its just under 2 miles but it is a tough 2 miles ( I am 6'2 220 and 53 and made it fine), but its no joke. But the views are incredible. Oh and if they happen to have it blocked off bc of the fires a few years ago - just go around it. Everyone did when we were there last year. And while your there everyone has to do the ski lift in gatlinburg.

[@lifererouted]

It's a great place! ❤❤

[@DaveLaymonphotography]

Welcome to my back yard. Glad you guys had a good time.

[@lifererouted]

Thanks, Dave!! ❤❤

[@earlreaganjr9381]

We did the Cave's Cove loop, first week of June. Saw 13 bears. We stayed at Little Arrow RV Resort on Little River. It's just outside of park entrance, in Townsend, and close to the Cove drive.

[@lifererouted]

THIRTEEN?! Holy cow 😳

[@earlreaganjr9381]

@@lifererouted yes & we had two visit our RV park in Townsend.

[@rangers9848]

Cades Cove is the best. We saw so many bears when we did the loop. Just remember to eat in “designated areas only”. If you eat at a turnout you will get a visitor who will want ALL YOUR FOOD! I’m not kidding. The bears can smell stupid tourists for miles and miles! 🐻

[@lifererouted]

That's awesome!

[@jessicatarr7090]

I wish I would have seen this in enough time. The Apple Barn is me and my husbands favorite. Not over crowded and we enjoy parking and walking Over to the creek and sitting and watching the ducks and geese

[@lifererouted]

We actually went there!! Just didn't make the video 😊 we really enjoyed it!

[@philipgerry5228]

We use the outdoor Windex pads and pole to clean our trailer. The pads are soapy.

[@schlz69]

We really enjoyed Cades Cove, saw several Deer , pointed them out and in true National Park style People headed off through the Poison Ivy in flip flops and shorts to see how close they could get, I kinda felt bad, but not really. Joy was really hoping to see a Bear too, apparently if we would have been 5 min earlier we would have seen one, but oh well. Im sure we will see some in Glacier this coming summer.

[@lifererouted]

It's a great place right?! ❤❤❤

[@jimmycrumpler1853]

We love the Pigeon Forge/ Sevierville area. We stayed at the resort when it was Eagle’s Nest campground, no WiFi and no Verizon cell service. We have been going to Pigeon Forge for 10 years and normally stay at least 2 weeks or more a year. We now stay at Riverside RV park in Sevierville, it’s close to I-40. Old Mill restaurant is a great place to eat breakfast

[@lifererouted]

Oh wow that's so cool you've been going for so long!! We'll have to check out Old Mill next time we go!

[@marshabrown898]

We were at Cades Cove in June. We rode our bikes through the loop and came within 20 ft of a big black bear. We saw 4 while driving into the Cove.

[@cchambersglenn]

There are many hikes in the Smokies with beautiful waterfalls 😊

[@lifererouted]

We so wish we got to do some of the hikes!! It started raining on us in Cades Cove so we gave up 😅

[@enz6312]

Just found your channel and i SUBSCRIBED!!. We just bought a new Imagine, similar to yours. Also, we are Michigan natives now living in South Carolina and we LOVE the Smokies and Eastern Tennessee so much that we bought property there for retirement. We spent our honeymoon 32 years ago, tent camping in the National Park. If you would like to dry camp in the woods, try any of the camp grounds in the park. We really like Cades Cove and Elkmont campgrounds. Hiking, visiting town in the fall......EPIC!!

[@lifererouted]

Thanks for subbing! Love hearing those stories, Eric!! 🥰

[@mikepetty8890]

We stay at Up The Creek in pigeon Forge, small campground, no bath houses, but a great campground, plenty of separation, full hook ups.

[@lifererouted]

Sounds great!

[@matthartlage889]

So glad you all liked it! Sara looked at me and said “Did you send them there?” LOL! “No, but I may have had something to do with it.” 😉

[@lifererouted]

Totally forgot to message you - thank you so much for the recommendation!! We really liked it 🥰 You can tell Sara you get the credit for it 😁

Cool - we haven’t seen someone playing the psaltry in years, it’s quite the unique sound 🎵

Thanks, you too!

Go to cades cove in the spring to see the bears. We went this spring end of April in the evening and seen 8 of them!

Up the creek Campground is the best place near pigeon forge. Spacious sites, very quiet, most back up to a creek.

[@lifererouted]

Good to know!

[@kimellis4815]

Love Cades Cove

[@lifererouted]

Great place!!

[@Mikesroadtrip-ec5kp]

We always see bears there. Take 3/4 Dr Pepper and 1/4 Cheerwine. So good.

[@lifererouted]

Haven't heard of that! We may have to try it out!

[@Brigand231]

We're often fortunate enough to see deer or turkey at our local "state bark", but every once in a while we'll see something far out like a little tortoise crossing the road.

[@lifererouted]

Aww that's perfect!

[@thesp1r1twalk3r]

My bbs🎉

[@GimpyCamper]

I avoid the area most of the time but imo the best park is Honeysuckle Meadows, a little further away, a lot more space at sites, and probably cheaper

[@lifererouted]

Oh good to know, we'll have to check it out if we go back!

[@dandtintennessee7675]

We stated there last August into September. It's a really nice park. The bath stalls are larger than our bathrooms at home.. we're staying at KOA this year which is our usual spot when we come to the Smokies. I'll send you an adventure via messenger you should consider for some time in the future.

[@lifererouted]

We should've checked out the bathhouses. They looked nice!

[@dandtintennessee7675]

@lifererouted We had planned on doing a drive through video and tour of the bathhouse and such but the day we planned it had gotten so packed you could barely drive through the park.. we waited till labor day weekend. Poor timing on our part so that video didn't get made. Look forward to exploring your library of videos.

[@mikebooth5552]

What speed do you typically drive with your camper on the Interstate? Just bought a 2600RB last month and taking it out for the first time this weekend. Thanks!

[@lifererouted]

Good question! I don't usually go over 65. Our tires are rated higher and everything, but I usually stay at around 65 on the interstate.

[@toms1499]

Very cool, was just at cades cove about 2 months ago. The horseback ride tour on the cades cove loop and the nearby cave tour are both awesome. If you look at a cades cove map there is a old back road leading out of cades cove that was kind of hidden and had signs that it was unmaintained etc and was mostly gravel but was in good shape we got to see some bears and more wildlife leaving that way. Keep up the great videos!

[@lifererouted]

Oh how cool, didn't realize they did horseback tours! That's so interesting that you found a basically hidden road! Thanks Tom 😊

Oh good point! It's in eastern Tennessee, near Gatlinburg or Knoxville. A combination of everything you could do in a city and gorgeous outdoors right next door 😍
