Take a trip into historic Cade's Cove. Once known as Cates Cove, named after the wife of a Cherokee Chief who had taken a Christian name after converting to Christianity. Chief Abram also adopted a Christian name and now has a waterfall in Cades Cove named after him. Learn this and more on a 5 hour bus tour of the famous Cades Cove. If this area of the Great Smoky Mountains was its own national park it would be the 2nd most visited park in the United Sates.

I had a great driver and guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and the history of Cades Cove. Willing to either spend time at the right stops if we needed or requested it. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.
