It was really cool Janet! As many times as we've been there, we had never driven up to Cades Cove. I'm really glad we did! We were talking on the way there that we could have driven a shorter distance and seen them in a zoo but that is not even close to how cool it is to see them in their natural habitat. I heard somewhere that the Mama bears stay in the dens with their cubs until May. I'd like to go back there again because it wasn't May yet when we went. We might see even more bears

BTW could you zoom in on the pic and tell that it was bears? I hope so. I'm gonna have to buy a better camera.
