The morning after the 14th Anniversary Invasion™, The Smoky Mountain Jeep Club will host a special ride called "INVADE THE COVE™". The Cades Cove Loop Trail is the most popular scenic drive in all of the GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS, so you don't want to miss it! We will meet at 11:00am on August 23th at the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center 123 Cromwell Dr, Townsend, TN 37882 and leave at noon. Be sure to arrive in time to check out the gift shop in the Great Smoky Mountain Heritage Center, shop opens at 11:00am.

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.

🐾 BABY ANIMAL SEASON IN THE SMOKIES: BEFORE YOU “RESCUE” THAT BABY ANIMAL… READ THIS! 🐾

Spring and summer in the Smokies mean baby animals are everywhere—fawns, rabbits, birds, squirrels, turtles, and more. But here’s something that surprises many visitors:

👉 Most baby animals that appear “abandoned” are actually right where they’re supposed to be.

🦌 A fawn lying quietly in tall grass? Mom is likely nearby and returns throughout the day.

🐰 A rabbit nest in your yard? Mama rabbit usually only visits once or twice daily.

🐦 A feathered baby bird hopping around on the ground? It’s often a fledgling learning to fly.

🐢 Baby turtles? They’re independent from the moment they hatch.

Well-meaning people sometimes remove healthy baby animals from the wild when they don’t need help at all. In many cases, the best thing you can do is simply leave them alone and give them space.

⚠️ If an animal appears injured, has obvious signs of distress, or you’re unsure what to do, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator before handling it.

The Smokies are full of amazing wildlife. Let’s help keep them wild. ❤️

Have you ever spotted a baby animal during a visit to the Smokies? Tell us what you saw! 👇
