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

Have you been? 😍 Cades Cove is a charming valley tucked into the heart of the Smokies. Framed by rolling peaks and filled with active wildlife, historic cabins, waterfalls, and picturesque scenes, Cades Cove is a must-see on your visit to GSMNP! Pssssst: The BEST time to explore Cades Cove is on Wednesdays in the summer (when vehicles are prohibited) ☺️🚲 Hi 👋🏼 I’m Alexys @alexysabroad & I’m a travel blogger from East Tennessee! Follow as I hike & camp in the southeast and beyond! As always,

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
