Let’s go on an adventure to the Smoky Mountains! Here’s a wrap up of our May 3-7, 2026 trip. We can’t express how thankful we are to be able to do these adventure trips with our customers and we aren’t sure who had better time - us or our customers!
😎🔆〽️🚲🐻🦌🦃😎
Day 1️⃣
Arrival at our large private cabin, settled in, then drove around Cades Cove where we saw 6 bears! 🐻
Day 2️⃣
With rain chances for our original bike the cove day (car-free Wednesdays) we decided to bike the cove with cars which took significantly longer due to all the “bear jams” but we all agreed a bear jam is the best kind of traffic jam ever! We saw 16 bears, lost count of how many turkey, and quite a few deer. After resting we rode bikes to The Social for dinner, then biked the 11 mile trail in Townsend.
Day 3️⃣
Those of us that are mountain bikers headed to Wildside for a different kind of adventure and mountain biked for hours on their beautiful trails then we enjoyed dinner at The Abbey where we found the Sasquatch.
Day 4️⃣
The day we scheduled this whole trip around was today, car-free day at Cades Cove! It was a rainy day and a few still decided to take a chance and were rewarded with a break in the rain AND seeing 20 bears!!! 🐻 Those that chose not to bike in the rain went shopping and then we all met for a fun dinner at Apple Valley Cafe.
Day 5️⃣
Day five we chilled for breakfast at the house, then drove back home.

As always, this was a fun trip where stories were made, adventure became reality, and customers became friends. After a little rest we will be ready for the next one!
