Great Photo Stop
Taking the by-pass brings you around all the downtown Gatlinburg traffic. This route is very valuable during high traffic months or events. However, there is a pull off mid way which has the best view of Gatlinburg and the Great Smokey Mountains. This is a must see when visiting the area and makes a great photo stop. Also, you'll never know when you just may run across a local bear running down the road.

Motor tour
The Gatlinburg bypass and Cades Cove motorcar tour is beautiful but almost bumper to bumper this month. A carload of New Yorkers a few cars back kept honking and yelling to speed up even though the park's Cades Motor Trail has a 10 m.p.h. speed limit. Where are they going? The views are spectacular! Saw a group out of their vehicles chasing down a black bear for a photo! Stupid and dangerous to all including wildlife. What are we thinking people!
