“When the national park celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2009, Dolly sang at the rededication ceremonies at Newfound Gap. The clouds had rolled in, and when she sang ‘My Tennessee Mountain Home,’ they
lifted and the sunshine came out. Seeing the mountains like that was almost like a religious experience.”
Cade’s Cove
“I love horseback riding in the mountains around Cades Cove,
where you are most apt to see deer, bear, and other wildlife.”

Biking in Cade’s Cove
“The 11-mile loop road is closed to automobiles on Wednesday and Saturday mornings until 10 a.m. through the last Wednesday in September. ... You can even rent a bike ... at the Cades Cove Campground. ... In addition to the ubiquitous deer, you may also cross paths with coyotes, ground hogs, turkeys, raccoons, and maybe even a bear. On your way, you’ll peddle past old log cabin homes, barns, and churches dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, all open for exploring.” [From “Smoky Mountain Sporting Life,” September/October 2014]
