Despite its name, Cades Cove is a stunning valley, not a cove. Located on the border of both Tennessee and North Carolina, the valley is known for its stunning scenery and abundant wildlife. Visitors to Cades Cove will marvel at the Thunderhead Mountains towering over the valley. Keep a sharp eye on the landscape—bears, white-tailed deer, coyotes, groundhogs, and turkeys have been spotted throughout the area. Visitors can also learn about the Cherokee tribes that used the valley as a hunting ground for hundreds of years and explore the 19th-century buildings left behind by the area's first European settlers.
The Rainbow Falls Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the most scenic sights that has to be seen to be beleived. The waterfalls run 80 feet high with fast flowing water that can actually be mistaken for a white cloud making a haunting noise. However, the most appealing sight is the rainbow formed from the mist of this heightened fall which is nothing less than a treat to your eyes. The rainbow is nestled amidst the green mountains and is clapped on both the sides by a hiking trail, which gives dimension to this grand waterfall. Call ahead for more information.
