We drove to Cade Cove and turned onto a dirt road that took us on an adventure that was more then what we had anticipated. Rich Mountain Road is steep, winding, and rough with many a sharp turn and very risky for a car. We crossed Indian Grave Gap Trail and one will have to be physically fit to hike that trail. It was a 8 mile, one-way gravel road winding around Rich Mountain that leads to Tuckaleechee Cove and Townsend, TN. The road has stunning views down into Cades Cove. You can see Cades Cove Missionary Baptist Church. It is one of the most remote locations in the Smokies.
