drive question

I always thought that Cades Cove and the National Park were the same.

Which is a more interesting drive and is it better to go early morning or late afternoon to see more animals?

Cades Cove is a part of The Great Smoky Mountain National Park, it%26#39;s on the nothwest (Townsend) side of the Park. After you cross the Smokies on 441 you%26#39;ll turn at the Sugarlands Visitor Center and travel around 20 more miles to Cades Cove.

You will see more animals early morning in Cades Cove than anywhere else in the park. Overcast, damp days are good as well. The loop road through Cades Cove is open for bicycles only on Wednesdays and Saturdays from daylight to 10:00am May through Sept. Depending on when you come be prepared for lots of traffic on the loop road. Winter is the least crowded time there.

Cades Cove is part of the National Park system. My family lived in there (Parson%26#39;s Branch) until just before the Smoky Mountains park was formed back in the 1930%26#39;s.

I agree early morning is best.

When we have wanted to see the wildlife in the cove, we have gone in the evening just before they close the gate close to dusk. We pulled off on the side of the road and watched the dear march out of the woods one behind the other. I know that sounds strange, but that is what is was like. One time we saw 7 doe and 2 bucks, one behind the other, come out of the woods and leap over a fence and start feeding on the grass. But, the dear were the only animals we saw. Whenever we have been lucky enough to see a bear, it has been during the day, but not every time we go.
