Cades Cove - Great Smoky Mountains National Park


Good weather in early January 2016 was all the invitation we needed to visit one of our favorite places in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Green fields below Pole Knob and Cobb Ridge

Low clouds brush the mountaintops

Green field and burned field

A new reflector marks a roadside rock

John Oliver place at the edge of the cove

View across the cove to Pole Knob

Another burned field

Wildlife in the field above Tater Branch

Evergreens on the mountain

Looking east up the cove from the Elijah Oliver cabin parking area

Clouds continue to roll into the cove

Periodically burning fields keeps the forest from covering the cove

Entry to Great Smoky Mountains National Park is free.
