"And the silence was unbroken" Top 5 Page for this destination Great Smoky Mountains National Park Off The Beaten Path Tip by goingsolo

The beauty of the Smokies exceeded expectations. Then again, such expectations were grounded in a preference for points west, but, driving along Cades Cove Loop Road in the early morning stillness, I can't help but be captivated. A peaceful morning in a unique park with mountains shrouded in mist. Truly spectacular. I'm starting to get it now.
