Cable Mill Historic Area in Cades Cove - Great Smoky Mountains National Park


I had an opportunity to visit Cades Cove early one morning in early August 2015. The fog quickly dissipated as the sun climbed higher in the sky. Since there were very few visitors, I took some time to explore the Cable Mill area about half-way around the 11 mile loop road.
