Cooper Road (Cades Cove to Cane Creek)

Date:  2/1/14
Distance: 14.8 mi

I had previously hiked the portion of Cooper Road from Abrams Creek to Cane Creek. For this hike, I started on the Cades Cove Loop Road and hiked to Cane Creek to complete the Cooper Road Trail.  It was a cool clear day and Cades Cove was very scenic.

There was a deer between the trail and the road as I started.

The trail is wide and was in good shape.  There was a bit of snow on the ground in places.

There are several spots where there were nice views on the trail.

One of the small creeks was completely frozen over.

There were many signs of tornado damage from a few years ago.

 It was a very clear and beautiful day.

Cades Cove was also nice in the afternoon.
