Although Abrams Falls is only 20 feet high, the large volume of water rushing over falls more than makes up for its lack of height. The long, deep pool at its base is very picturesque. The waterfall and creek are named for a Cherokee chief whose village once stood several miles downstream. The trail to the falls traverses pine-oak forest on the ridges and hemlock and rhododendron forest along the creek. The hike is 5 miles roundtrip and considered moderate in difficulty. Take sufficient water and pack energy bars. Trail is very nice and scenery is beautiful. Fall was is full glory as it was rainy season. #falls #waterfalls #smokymountain #mountainview #trails #hike

Cade’s Cove is the most visited area of the Smoky Mountains. Roughly 31 miles away from the city of Pigeon Forge, Cade’s Cove is in the 6,800-acre valley known for its picturesque landscapes. European settlers settled here in the early 1800s, contributing to why Cade’s Cove has the largest variety of historic buildings in the entire national park. As you make your way through the area, you can see historic structures like restored churches, old grist mills and pioneer log cabins. The enriched history of Cade’s Cove has left its lasting mark with its presence still felt today. There are multiple small big trails one can take. There are many abundant places/cabins which were once residential area but now left unoccupied. Drive is beautiful and you can many bears on the way. One of the best thing to do in Smokies. #cadescove #caves #scenary #drive
