Spent the week at the Cades Cove campground last week, had a great time! Campground is nicely set-up. Hope to get back up there for a couple days in the fall or winter.

Going to Gatlinburg next week for a week what was the best time of day for seeing bears when you were there?

Bears were pretty much all day and helter skelter all over the cove. We spent five days going through at least three times a day. Early morning (and I don't mean after you stop at the pancake house for breakfast,:bounce::bounce: I'm talking day break) is the best time to see the does with fawns, late evening (8-dark) is the best time to see the big bucks.

Nice pictures!

We were there the first week of June. There weren't any fawns running around then, but we saw plenty of bears.

It's a great place to enjoy watching wildlife. If you come up you have to schedule a day to go to Cataloochee in North Carolina and see the elk.
