Camping - Cades Cove

We went camping last weekend at Cades Cove. We took a lot of pictures and did a lot of things over the four day trip. One of which our family had never done until this trip.

Be sure to click on these pictures to see the rest of our pictures posted on our Flickr page.



Cades Cove is a campground at the base of the Smokey Mountians National Park. We stayed in Cades Cove and also rode our bikes around the 11 mile Cades Cove loop. This give you an idea of what that bike trail looks like.



Nathan was very happy to have his new 21 speed bike along. I think he got the desire to a 21 speed after renting a bike this summer for our bike trip near grandpa's house.



There's a lot of wildlife in the park. From our walks to water falls, bike rides around Cades Cove, going down the river, riding the horses, and just driving down the road. We saw three bears, two rattle snakes, lots of dear, heard tons of birds, and of course we rodes the horses.





We had never all been on a horse ride together before this trip. Jannah was really excited about this ride and we all had a great time. Jannah was telling us she had never been on a horse but he wanted us all to know she had been on a camel ride before.









This was also something we had not done as a family quite like this before. We took two runs at two locations. In all about 3 miles on the river.



Some random shots of the trip.
