A Call to Breakfast
I recently got to Cades Cove a little before 6 am hoping that they might open at dawn even though I knew it was probably 8 am. And yes, I ended up being the first car in line for when it opened at 8 am... But! I got to watch the fog rolling across the landscape at the entrance, found at least three nice tree in fog compositions, and see the horses get called in for their morning feeding. So, even when you don't get quite what you wanted, early morning are almost always worth it whether you're after wildlife or landscapes or just the joy of being in creation!
