While driving in Cades Cove in June, we stopped to watch this nimble Black Bear leaping over the small fence. Really glad the bear just kept on going... #nationalparks #wildlife #tooclose #tourons #nature #bears | oneWildlifer

The Cades Cove Loop offers some of the best scenic views in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This historic valley is famous for its wide open spaces and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. A visit here is a classic Smoky Mountains experience you will not forget. The 11 mile drive can take several hours on a busy summer day so pack snacks and be patient. For a different adventure visit on a Wednesday from May to September when the loop is closed to cars which makes it perfect for walki

Yesterday at Cades cove, no sure what was the situation here, I think it was a male chasing a female but in the Great Smoky Mountains, black bears' mating season typically occurs in July so this two were breaking the rules🤭 #ilovethesmokies #cadescove #greatsmokymountains | I Love The Smoky Mountains
