The scenic driving tour through the Cades Cove Loop takes approximately two to four hours depending on traffic. Because it’s a single-lane road, be prepared to stop frequently—the slow pace makes it easy to enjoy the amazing mountain landscapes, wildflower meadows and diverse wildlife. Halfway through the Loop, you can make stop at the Visitors Center where photo opportunities are ample and restrooms are available. The water-powered mill near the Visitor Center is a must-see, as well. There is no rush thru the loop and you can break away from the convoy at anytime to stop 
and picnic or check out the old cabins and churches.
