A quiet country lane winds through the heart of Cades Cove, framed by weathered fence posts, rolling pastures, and a towering oak glowing with autumn color. Morning light filters through layers of mist and mountain ridges, illuminating a tapestry of gold, amber, and crimson that defines fall in the Great Smoky Mountains.
