The Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Day 3

We were once again up early to go back and hike Laurel Falls Trail, which we didn't realize was paved pretty much the entire four mile round-trip way. We did enjoy some pretty foliage along the walk....





We then decided to go to Cades Cove - it's a valley where people homesteaded in the 1800's.  We thought this would be just a couple hours, but everyone else in the park was also there and it was a much longer afternoon, albeit an interesting one.

The foliage along the drive was quite nice......

A few of the cabins and sites along the way.....







We saw this bear (and her three cubs) as we were leaving
