Three weeks ago, I decided to give Vehicle-Free Wednesday in Cades Cove a try, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I've had in the Smokies!

I rented an e-bike from Vee Hollow Bike Shop in Townsend, and I can't say enough good things about them. Super friendly people, excellent service, and fantastic bikes. If you're thinking about biking Cades Cove, I highly recommend renting from them.

I headed toward Cades Cove around noon, but the parking lot was completely full. I turned around, drove back to the second pull-off, then headed back toward the Cove. Thankfully, so many people were leaving that I was able to grab a parking spot. One tip: don't park on the side of the road—they were actively towing vehicles.

After unloading my bike and purchasing my parking pass, I was finally on my way...and it was absolutely fabulous!

I'm not sure I'll ever drive the loop again in a vehicle. Being on a bike gave me the freedom to stop whenever I wanted, pass people when I wanted, and simply enjoy the fresh mountain air. I rode the entire 11-mile loop on my e-bike. I pedaled most of the way but definitely appreciated the pedal assist when my legs started reminding me that I am not 20 anymore!

One of the highlights was an unexpected 20-minute stop when a mama bear decided she wasn't thrilled that her cubs were so close to the road while people kept passing by. We all patiently waited until she gathered her cubs and led them a little farther into the woods. It was an incredible reminder that we're guests in their home.

I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I planned because let's be honest...I was focused on not falling off my bike!

Even so, I saw deer, wild turkeys, numerous black bears, and some of the most breathtaking scenery the Smokies have to offer.

If you've ever considered experiencing Cades Cove on a Vehicle-Free Wednesday, do it. It was peaceful, unforgettable, and hands-down one of my favorite days in the Smoky Mountains.

The drive to Cades Cove was absolutely beautiful and only took about 30 minutes from our cabin.

Was unloading my vehicle and kept hearing a sound, I turned around and had a wild turkey just trotting right past me!

Ober Gatlinburg is hosting its Black Bear & Berry Jam Festival throughout July. The festival runs every Friday through Sunday, from July 10 to July 26.

Visitors can enjoy live music, local artisans, and berry-themed foods and drinks. A key part of the festival is learning about black bears native to the Smoky Mountains.

Ober's Wildlife Habitat will feature rescued black bears, bobcats, river otters, and birds of prey. VIP Behind the Scenes Wildlife Habitat Tours are available for a limited number of guests with advance reservations.

On Saturday, July 18, the festival will focus on black bears with presentations by wildlife biologists and conservation experts. These sessions will cover bear habitat, behavior, diet, and tips for safely coexisting with wildlife.

Families can also explore the Kids Market on July 18, where young entrepreneurs ages 5-17 will sell handmade products. Live music from Club 80's Rewind is also scheduled for that day.

The festival also marks the debut of several new attractions at Ober Gatlinburg. These include an outdoor archery range, a nine-hole disc golf course, and a new skills course at the Downhill Mountain Bike Park.

Families can cool off on the new Summer Tubing attraction, which features three elevated lanes with varying speeds and drops.

More information about the festival, new attractions, and ticket purchases can be found at obergatlinburg.com.
