Breathtaking Views

Cades Cove is one of the most popular attractions in all the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A tour through this valley will allow you to see some of the best views in the whole country. The picturesque setting of Cades Cove is simply breathtaking. The natural fog that hangs over the mountain range is from the vapor that is released from the vegetation in the mountains. The vegetation exhales volatile organic compounds, chemicals that have high vapor pressure and forms vapor at normal temperature and pressure. Come experience views like you have never seen!

The landscape of Cades Cove is blanketed with wildflowers. There are over 1600 flowering plants in the Smoky Mountains. Spring is commonly regarded as the best time to see wildflowers here, but there are some incredible sights like the blooming Flame Azaleas and Turk’s Cap that occur in the summertime.
