If you enjoyed that, hit up the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. You get to it by going up the road that the Space Needle arcade is on (I think it's just called "Historic Nature Trail Road" or something like that). It's a 1-way drive that comes out quite a ways up NE of town. It's similar to Cades Cove except it's almost exclusively wooded. The last few times we've been, we've seen more wildlife there than Cades Cove. Also a few cabins, trailheads, etc along it you can stop and explore.

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft
