On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we headed up the Cades Cove for a quick hike. I only needed 5 miles to get my 100 mile pin (!), so we chose Abram Falls. We had already been once, and last time I thought it was SO HARD. This time ~15 lbs lighter with a year of consistent weight-lifting and two more LeConte trips under my belt, it was much, much easier! I will go so far to say that it was EASY – a beginner hike for sure! If you read the post from the last time, I was griping because I had read on the internet that some one said it was easy and I did not agree. Ha! Also, this time there was much less traffic on the trail.

After the hike, we drove through Cades Cove and back in to Gatlinburg, stopping at the Sugarlands visitor center on the way! I got it!
Our next stop was one of our favorites…….
….Best Italian! We LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! There is nothing in the WORLD like their garlic knots!
After eating, we did a little bit of shopping before heading back home. Overall, an awesome hike!
