Horseback Riding
There is a riding stable near the entrance of the Cades Cove loop in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As the horses provide an excellent way to enjoy the cove, you may want to stop there.

The Cades Cove Riding Stables are open March 4 – November 30, weather permitting. Guided trail rides are conducted on horseback for $30 per person. Carriage rides around Cades Cove run $12 per person and last approximately 30 minutes.

Thanks for the information about horseback riding. I have done this number of times before and I am a good horseback and trail rider 🙂
