There are mountains, foothills, rapids, waterfalls, forests, valleys and wild life everywhere. Outstanding views!
Laurel Falls is a 2+ mile hike round trip and worth the effort if you want a slightly challenging hike and if you have the time. There was a mother bear and cubs climbing in the treetops when we were there. Many wild turkeys and deer, ...

We took 2 roads, one out of Cades Cove and another from Cataluchee, that are closed in the winter. There were NO cars on these roads, but the wildlife was abundant!
