Day 2 – Cades Cove – Lunch at The Abbey – Chocolate Bar Candy Class – Foothills Parkway – Choice of Dinner Show

This morning, enjoy a guided tour of Cades Cove.  Journey in tourist vans, on an 11 mile, one-lane looping road into remote Cades Cove.  This hidden valley is framed by picturesque mountain peaks and was hunted by the Cherokee for centuries before Europeans arrived around 1820. Many of the original 19^th structures from that community of almost 300 people still stand, including three churches, log homes and a water mill near the Visitors center.  Here you are literally walking through history with nature by your side. The Cove is one of the Smokies best wildlife viewing areas with herds of white-tailed deer, black bear, coyote, turkey, raccoon, and others.

Next, arrive in the town of Townsend for lunch at The Abbey. Located in an Old Church, The Abbey is a restaurant/tap room located on the Little River.  The Abbey is a great way to spend an afternoon, on the patio by the river. Enjoy a peacefully quiet location where you can enjoy a breath of fresh air, serenity and maybe a pint of craft beer.

Following lunch, visit the nearby Chocolate Bar for a Candy Class.  Watch how the candy is made and enjoy a demonstration and tasting!

Then enjoy a guided tour of Foothills Parkway, a national parkway that traverses the foothills of the northern Great Smoky Mountains.  The Parkway features a series of high ridges running roughly parallel to the Tennessee boundary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and offer unobstructed views of the Smokies to the south and the Tennessee Valley to the north. There are many breathtaking views with multiple overlooks to take photos and enjoy the scenery.

Returning to Pigeon Forge this evening, you have your choice of Dinner Shows.  Choose from: Dolly Parton’s Stampede, Pirates Voyage or Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud.  (B,L,D)

This afternoon, visit SkyLand Ranch, Pigeon Forge’s newest attraction.  Set on a 100-acre farm in the Great Smoky Mountains, SkyLand Ranch combines all your favorite things about the Smoky Mountains into one exciting attraction. Take a ride on a scenic chairlift to the top of Skyland Ranch, where hours of fun await. Experience a mountain coaster that’s over a mile long, a suspended bridge with a canopy walk. SkyLand Ranch is also home to a variety of miniature animals, food barns, and retail shops.
