Bike - Hike - Bike Cades Cove

Hope to have a fun day!!
We will meet at the Cades Cove store parking area, The trip will begin with a 5 mile ride to Abrams Falls parking lot. On the the way we will have plenty of opportunities to stop for some beautiful views of the Cades Cove landscape. Maybe some views of wildlife on the way.
We will leave our bikes in the parking lot. Be sure to bring a cable lock to secure your bike. The hike starts at the edge of the parking lot for 2.5 miles to Abrams Falls, a little over 600 feet elevation gain. The falls is a great spot to have a snack or lunch. After we have soaked in the falls we will retune back to our bikes on the same trail.
We will continue for 5 miles back to the Cades Cove parking lot.
The entire loop has many places to pull off the road and view some great scenery and visit some of the historical sites.
Biking the loop is the best way to see Cades Cove. Don't be fooled ... this is not a flat ride.

Things you might want to have:
Food,
Plenty of water,
Spare Tube
Helmet (Strongly recommended ... voice of hard knocks!!)

Don't have a bike? They can be rented at the Cades Cove Store.
