Cades Cove Loop Road in Tennessee

We biked the 11-mile Cades Cove Loop Road on our second day in Tennessee.  This is a beautiful historical area with preserved 19th-century homes, breathtaking mountain views, and lots of wildlife.  It's amazing to look at the terrain map of the cove and its surroundings: it's a wide-open flat space in the middle of an area that's otherwise entirely mountainous.
