Cades Cove black bear information requested.

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

Could any of you kind folks give me, and everyone else reading this post, the intel on finding and seeing black bears in Cades Cove, Smokey Mountain National Park? Specific trails or areas where they are frequently seen. I'm looking at making a quick trip in the next month. Thank you in advance.
When are you heading to the area?
This time of year is a good time to see the ELK. https://www.greatsmokies.com/elk-watching/
Sunrise and Sunset are great times to drive the foothills parkway especially in the fall. Colors and views are great. Last fall we seen Black Bear and a Bobcat on our evening drive. Heading back down in November.

Hopefully going within the next few weeks. It’ll be spur of the moment if I can go at all.
