Very nice ride through the Cove. Thank you. You have a great narrative voice which makes your videos pleassant to watch. I truely enjoyed the added piano music. Was a relaxing video to watch. Ashame the bears weren't out to greet you today. 😢
Glad you enjoyed it Angel! I don't blame them...It was cold! 🥶😆
Bears were probably in hibernation.
Wow!!! No crowds or long lines of cars, just mother nature and her beauty❤ This is wonderful!😊
It was great!
My wife and I really enjoy your videos! We just discovered them. We have been there and in the Smokies many times but never in the winter months. It was beautiful. THANKS
Welcome Tommy, we are happy to have you virtually join where we go!
Thank you for this beautiful video we so enjoyed it we love the cove and have rode it many times on our lectric bikes your channel has become our favorite to watch God Bless
Wow, thanks Bamba...that is very encouraging!
Brought back great memories of Summers and Christmas with my Grandparents in the cove. Grandaddy loved Cades Cove and knew several of the families before they left. Thank you!
Happy to bring back great memories barnescsp!
Ryan !!! Excellent video!!! Thanks 🙏👍 for braving the extreme cold for those beautiful views plus about 70-80 deer too. The bear are brumating now...😊
Thanks Diamondbackking!
I am really enjoying the winter videos. This one was especially enjoyable with the beautiful scenery and the music. You knocked this one out of the park! (A little "dad" joke) 😆 Thank you for braving the elements to bring us these videos.
Our pleasure, so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this beautiful video. God made a perfect world for us to enjoy!!
Our pleasure!
Every time we visit Cade's Cove (once each summer), I am struck by the natural beauty of the landscape. I always think "If there are places this beautiful on the Earth, how stunning must the beauty of Heaven be?" We speak often about retiring to East Tennessee. If we do, I could see us heading up to Cade's Cove several times every year. I received a book about that area for Christmas, and reading the true stories in it makes me want to be there even more.
Enjoy the book! We plan to do more videos here this year as we love going on Wednesdays when they close it down for just bikes & pedestrians, it's our favorite time to go!
Next time you go through Cades Cove walk through the cemeteries and read the dates of death on the headstones. I believe the Cove population was hit hard by the Spanish Flu of the 19 teens.
@@StevenSmith-pt8rz We did that at one of the primitive churches in the Cove, and it's shocking how old some of those gravesites are. I recall seeing lots of loose change and even some paper currency placed on several of the markers. Not sure what that tradition is all about. We were intrigued by it.
Loved the video. The mountain ranges covered in snow was beautiful. How exciting to see all the deer and turkeys. Thanks for braving the cold to take a bike ride in the cove to share with us.
Our pleasure Betty Sue!
I LOVE Cades cove. I used to go all the time when I had my crown vic
👍
Thanks for taking the time to create this wonderful video! We really appreciate what you're doing. ✌️❤️
Our pleasure Stephen!
Had to watch this one again with the family. Those snow draped mountains 🏔 looked like a painting. 🖼
It does!
How awesome to have the whole place to yourself (well, you and the deer)! Great video, thanks for sharing the experience!
I loved this video! I can’t believe that other than a couple of vehicles that were ahead of you, basically you had the Cove all to yourself! It was so relaxing to watch and I loved seeing all the animals you captured on video. My husband and I always enjoy watching your videos. You have such a sweet family and you do an awesome job narrating your videos. Stay safe!
Thanks Denise...Sola Deo gloria!
In the warm months the traffic is bumper to bumper.
Glad you got to see quite a bit of wildlife. The last few times we were there, we hardly saw any. Many years ago, when I was a lot younger, you could go to Cades Cove and see hundreds of deer. They were all over the place. An occasional bear. Bears were really rare back then. My mom would get a piece of paper and make columns for deer, turkey, and others and keep up with the total that we saw. That was her favorite thing to do besides looking at God's beautiful creations and being with family. She has been gone only 4 years today, but seems like an eternity. A couple of times we saw up to 180 deer. The rest of the times was 80 to 100. I'm talking about at least 55 years ago. I don't know where all of the wildlife has gone. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it, as I do all of your videos. I hope you got thawed out. Next, getting something to cover your face from the cold. 22 tonight in the NW Florida Panhandle. Great job. God bless ❤
wow...180 deer! We appreciate your support Renee!
Absolutely breathtaking and beautiful.😍 ❤🏔️🗻🚗🛣️❄️
It was!
Oh my. This is simply gorgeous. Cades Cove means so much to me…thanks you for this beautiful video.
Glad you enjoyed this trip to Cades Cove Sue!
Beautiful! That was very relaxing! Thank you, blessings!
Our pleasure Sam!
Townsend, TN is my “Happy “ place. Love Cades Cove as well as all our beautiful mountains! 🏔️
Awesome video dude! When u were riding the bike with the music playing, it almost felt like a quasi Sky-Fly-esque ride. Felt professional. Great camera work and commentary. Thanks for freezing your butt off to share!
Thanks PC, glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! Loved the music too! Thank you for sharing!
Our pleasure Robert & Nancy!
My wife and I honeymooned in Townsend 30 years ago. When you rode through the cove back then, you would "easily" see a hundred deer at dusk. It was pretty amazing. You could park and all at once they would just materialize every where in the fields.
🦌👍
The last time I was in Cades Cove there was a mama bear and two young ones crossing the road. Beautiful...
Thanks for taking us along! Loved the ride through the Cove and all of the deer. Can't wait until May when I can visit again😊😊
Hope you have a great time in May!
Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. We didn't get to make it there this year. So seeing this was really nice.❤
Our pleasure Sherry, we plan to do more videos here this year!
We have always liked the Cades Cove videos you have shared. This one I would say is number one. Beautiful mountains and wildlife. Ice makes unique sculptures. Without watching again I would say 40 plus deer on this trip. Thanks Ryan. Even after 11 visits we have not drove the Cades Cove loop yet. So many things to do and see when there.
Glad you enjoyed it Duane & Pete!
thank you for making this video. My daughter got married at the Primitive Baptist Church 7yrs ago. I love Cades Cove at any time of the yr
Our pleasure!
Great video, it was just like being there and so professional done, keep up the good work and thanks for you making my life so much better
No words to describe the beauty in this video!
Thank you for sharing this Adventure ❤️
Glad you enjoyed Cades Cove Janet!
Janet I absolutely agree
Absolutely great video of our favorite place in the world! Love it in the snow, ice, and wintertime. Truly, to God be the Glory.
Indeed...Sola Deo gloria!
What a great video, thank you! We absolutely loved riding along with you through a beautiful wintery Cades Cove. Good job getting out there and still riding in the cold. Bicycling is the best!
Our pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful bike ride and thank you for taking me along with you on your ride through Cades Cove! I bet that looked like a winter wonderland with snow all over. The icicles made everything look more beautiful! Really enjoyed your video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
52 years young. Never have I been jealous of anything nor anyone until now. That is a dream come true.
👍
I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville back in the late 70s and after spending many weekends studying under the trees in Cades Cove, I promised myself that no matter what I did in life or where I went, I would retire back in the Smokies. 46 years, world-travel, and three careers later, I settled down only 40 miles from here, deeper in the mountains. Your video is a memory bomb, igniting thoughts of the best times in my youth. Thank You.
So happy to hear this brought back good memories & you could virtually join!
Awesome video and thanks for sharing 😊
Our pleasure Sandra!
Thank you so much for a beautiful ride! Loved all the views of the mountain, the streams and the wildlife!
Our pleasure Kathy!
Loved everything about this video! Didn't want it to end! Thank you for sharing the beauty!
Glad you enjoyed it Kathy!
Trying to get caught up on your videos my daughter had my first grandbaby in Christmas Eve and I have been enjoying him, thanks for this video we love cades cove, God Bless
Thank you! It was neat to see the park with hardly anyone in it.
Thank you for the beautiful view of Cades Cove...I enjoyed watching it..
Our pleasure!
Thank you for the lovely nature tour, enjoyed the ride along with you immensely!
Our pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
Such incredible views. Well done. So happy to see this video. ❤
Thanks Wendy!
Love watching your videos. You drive in all the areas I normally visit. Thanks for doing this.
Our pleasure Shawn!
Beautiful video of The Great Smokey Mountains in all her glory! Breathtaking views as always. ❤
Thanks Cheri...Sola Deo gloria!
Lovely video. Thank you. Enjoyed the music also.
Our pleasure Connie!
This video was absolutely amazing! Wow at the icicles. Thank you for all you do to share the beauty!
Glad you enjoyed it Wendy!
Have biked the loop many times over the last 50 years. The electric bikes look very appealing, especially as we age. Did motorcycles for 50 years (sport bikes and cruisers) but the E Bikes look like they could even be more fun in certain places.
Neve even knew this, been going for years. Thank you, will definitely check this out on our next trip
Our pleasure! Here are 2 other video from here you could also check out:
First Time on Brie's Bike ► czcams.com/video/o9pH7IDM_GA/video.html
Pearl Harbor Tree ► czcams.com/video/iFEtITxZg3M/video.html
Another enjoyable drive through the mountains
Glad you enjoyed it George!
Beautiful and calm, glad I was watching it from inside though...LOL
Glad you could enjoy it from inside a warm home!
Thank you for sharing that amazing tour through beautiful Cades Cove!
Our pleasure Jeff!
Thank you for the video. Such a beautiful place. It would have been nice to have seen more of the structures, especially around the Cable Home and Mill. But just to take the rtide was great! I remember so much of it. I am glad they are still preserving the buildings, land and history - I last saw Cades Cove in person 50 years ago!
Absolutely beautiful
It was!
Beautiful video!!
Thanks GRACE...Sola Deo gloria!
Beautiful winter scenery
👍
I really enjoyed this!
Glad you did Kathy!
Thank you for the bike ride thru the cove. Peaceful and beautiful!
Our pleasure Angela!
Cades Cove is a favorite place of mine up there. I was surprised there wasn't more snow everywhere than there was. I lost count of the deer but I do know it was well more than 20, probably closer to 30 deer.
Some else in the comments said they counted 48 deer, plus 11 turkeys!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Wow!
@@thecoolestdad 👍
Wonderful video, narration fantastic! Didn’t know about the Pearl Harbor Tree. That was very surreal. Thank you very much.
Thanks Sam! We go over the Pearl Harbor tree in this video: czcams.com/video/iFEtITxZg3M/video.html
The mountains in the background are AWESOME 😍
👍
Nice visit with very appropriate music.
Thanks !
Our pleasure!
My wife and I try to go there once or twice a year, we where in the Smokey Mountains three months ago but did not get to go to the Cove, so we really injured the video. Thank you so much.❤
Our pleasure Darryl!
Very fun and relaxing vlog. Thank you. I love how you show such a wide variety of things to in the area. You are doing a great job.
Thanks for the encouragement Gary, we will do our best to keep them coming! 📷😁
We have been so very Blessed to have been in Cades Cove many times….every bend in that road is a memory you brought back for us….all of the bucks I could see still had both antlers…..so many out there grazing as it is essential to surviving the harsh elements….really enjoyed the breathtaking views with music to sooth your soul🙏🏻. Very nice!!
Glad you guys enjoyed it & hopefully gave you a break from all the stress of packing & moving!
BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!
It was a great ride through Cades Cove Loop Road!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful view of Cades Cove. The first time my parents & I saw this was August 1985. It was crowded, but we had a wonderful time. Since I was a single man, I took my parents with me whenever I took a vacation. After this trip, we continued to return in April or May & September, as the motel rates were not as expensive & there were not as many people. We continued to make this trek until 2000. Of course every time we took our mountain vacation, we had to go to Cades Cove. We saw it as a kind of pilgrimage, to renew ourselves & enjoy the wildlife & the flora. Sometimes we would pull off to the side of the road, & spread a blanket, so we could have a pic nic. That was so much fun! I hope to take another trip in April or May this year, but I will have to make it alone, as my parents have passed. Keep making these videos, as I for one, will look forward to them.
Sounds like great memories! We will keep making more videos like this, thanks Dan!
Very cool
👍
Love Cades Cove!!!
We do too!
I enjoyed this!! What a Beautiful Place.Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Shirley!
❤ Ryan, Thank you, Thank you for a beautiful video. We loved the animals and the beautiful views of the ridges and peaks covered in snow ❄️. You make the best videos. Keep 'em coming. ❤
Thanks Viet Vet...Sola Deo gloria!
We were just visiting Cades Cove in December. We saw deer but not as many as you. It has only been a month, but I am so ready to make a return trip.
So glad the Pearl Harbor tree is okay. Thanks for this great vlog.
Our pleasure Deatra!
Have been in that area a few times and LOVE THE AREA.
Very nice thank you
Our pleasure Gary!
So beautiful!!
It was a great day at Cades Cove!
Was just there the week before Christmas and it was a beautiful sunny day and the cove was packed, but what breath taking views with the mountains in the distance. I could happily live there and look at that view everyday! Thank you for sharing!
Our pleasure Tanya!
Wow!! So many deer!! Absolutely beautiful views. We love driving through the cove. Thanks for sharing!! Hope y’all are staying warm
Our pleasure Teresa!
I have enjoyed your drives in the snow. Love Cades Cove but not seen it in the snow. Hope to make a trip soon. We use to come often but have not been in about 2 years. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure Lisa, hopefully you can soon!
We'll be there in April. Can't wait!
Awesome, hope you have a great time in APR!
Just like you lost count of the # of deer you saw, I lost count of the number of times I said 'oh my gosh' because of all the beautiful scenery. Easily the best and most enjoyable video of winter in Cades Cove I have ever seen. Never been there during this time of year, but it's now on my list!
Hopefully you can someday!
Wow very quiet 🤫 place no car. So beautiful wildlife animals and creeks. ❤
It was! 🦌
Love Cad Cove!
👍
We made the trip last May for the first time and absolutely love it. Such a beautiful place. Glad to see it in winter
Thanks for sharing this gem.
Our pleasure Carina!
Really enjoyed this video 😅😅
Glad you did Terry!
Love cades Cove. My husband ashes are there. It was our favorite place . We visited as offen as we could. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure Reba!
That was absolutely beautiful, I have never seen that many deer at one time in there either. Thank You for taking us along.
Our pleasure SMD!
Wow so beautiful the ice cicles are beautiful they look like crystals on the side of the mountain .. cades cove is lovely.. on the other side of the Smokey’s going towards Cherokee nc we’ve seen turkeys and elk.. thanks for sharing Ryan you and your family stay safe and warm..😊
Our pleasure, will do Kisa!
Well done! My favorite place on earth! If you can't find peace in "The Cove" then you never will find it.
Thanks...Sola Deo Gloria!
Unfortunately every time I’ve ever been there it was bumper to bumper traffic and took forever to drive the short distance, not what I consider relaxing or peaceful.
@@Commentleaver-c6x Yea, it can be that way. I try to not go during "peak" tourist times. Sometime ya have to be lucky. I really don't let the crowds bother me.
I was adding up the deer in your video & counted 48 deer, plus 11 turkeys. I think the most we have ever seen there on a slow day was around 30, which was the day the Cove opened after the wildfires. Beautiful views. Thank you! Hope you are thawed out now.
I was hoping someone would do that...thanks! Yes hanging by the fire!
Thanks for the recent tour around Cades Cove. I Plan to visit GSMNP in 2-3 weeks. I hope it doesn't lose ALL that snow before I get there to photograph it for my next book.
Our pleasure, hope you have a wonderful time!
Brought back a lot of memories of past visits. On one occasion I counted 129 deer as we drove through Cades Cove. Look forward to getting back there at least one more time.
Wow, glad you could virtually go back!
Outstanding video I have never seen Cades Cove in the winter on a trike
Thanks Greg!
Hi There! Your video was so much fun to watch. I hope to ride my bike around Cades Cove Loop one day. Spectacular scenery. So many deer. Your choice of music was inspired. GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks Pandemonium, hopefully you can someday!
Good video with lots of great beautiful views of the mountains covered in snow 😊, there's was 54 deers and 11 turkeys😊
Thanks Danny!
Thank you for sharing. I felt like I was riding with you. I hope to see it in person someday 🎉❤😊
Our pleasure, hopefully you can someday!
One of the most beautiful loops to see God's creations of the mountains and wildlife.
We love biking it as often as we can!
Love this! We haven't been to Cades Cove in years but will be back in March to Pigeon Forge and we hope to visit Cades Cove!
Hope you have a great time in March & you are able to make it into Cades Cove then!
Check out the Smokey Mountain Recumbent Rally May 14th - 15 . We ride Cades Cove on the 15th on no car Wednesday. It's mainly Recumbent Trikes & Bikes, but A.. Ratchets are welcome as well.
