TBT: Cades Cove Bears and Other Wildlife - Great Smoky Mountains National Park


Cades Cove in Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of our favorite places. We visited in early October 2011 and drove the 11-mile scenic loop road. Along the way, we stopped twice for "bear jams", traffic jams caused by bear sightings.
