It is always a good idea to do outdoor activities in order to be in touch with nature and clear your mind, but it is even better if you have a nice company.

Please keep in mind that dogs are not allowed to get out of the cars on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail or in Cade’s Cove, but it doesn’t matter because with their cute behavior they are going to make you feel happy all the ride.
