This is a straight-through, one-way trail near Townsend, Tennessee. To get to this trail, you must enter the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and take the Cades Cove Loop Road. Vehicle access to this trail is closed on Wednesdays. This trail is a gentle drive through the mountain forest with very nice overlooks that can be traversed by any 2WD vehicle.
