Heading down to PF in April for a few days. I'd like to take a day or two to do some hiking in GSNP. My wife and I are fairly avid hikers that have done several sections of the AT. We will have able bodies kids with us - 14/10. My question centers around my elderly parents (n their 70s) with some mobility issues. My mother can hike but she can't do anything technical or very steep. Father probably the same. I'm looking for suggestions for hikes that would have some payoff views of the mountains - or at the very least interesting things to see. I've seen recommendations on Kephart Prong, Porters Creek, Sugarlands, and Middle Prong. Are they worth it? I've also seen Chimney Tops, Alum Cave Bluffs, Charles Bunion and Andrews Bald as being high touristy spots. How are those hikes? Should we do those without the parents? And any recommendations for alternatives that might not be super busy during the week. Thank you in advance!!

We are going in 3 weeks for the first time. Day 1 is Dollywood. Day 2 is Cade’s Cove hiking. Our last day, we are doing the Parrot Mountain place then lunch. Any suggestions on what we should do that second half of the last day? We have children and are a group of 10. Staying in Sevierville. Thanks!

We are driving though Cades Cove (the 11 mile road) on either September 7th or 8th and I was wondering if I should expect heavy traffic during those days/that time of year? We are not sure what time of day we would be going. Any tips for us? Thanks!
