The Cades Cove loop winds for 11 miles through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's a glorious ride on a bike with a backdrop of mountain peaks and lush green countryside. The views from here are particularly stunning.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, particularly Cades Cove, is recognized for its stunning views, diverse flora and fauna, and large crowds. The 11-mile loop at Cades Cove (actually 9.98 miles) is closed to automobile traffic on Wednesdays during the summer to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, including e-bikes. Expect significant crowds unless you visit at dawn.
