We are going in 3 weeks for the first time. Day 1 is Dollywood. Day 2 is Cade’s Cove hiking. Our last day, we are doing the Parrot Mountain place then lunch. Any suggestions on what we should do that second half of the last day? We have children and are a group of 10. Staying in Sevierville. Thanks!

I would do one of the mountain coasters, drive Roaring Forks Motor Trail (takes about 45 minutes)
We are driving though Cades Cove (the 11 mile road) on either September 7th or 8th and I was wondering if I should expect heavy traffic during those days/that time of year? We are not sure what time of day we would be going. Any tips for us? Thanks!
A:
I would expect it to be busy, but haven’t been at that time myself. Not sure if any events are going on at that time; which would increase traffic. Go early; that helps.
