Black Bear Sightings in Great Smoky Mountains Not Unusual

This year has seen an increase in black bear activity and black bear sightings in the Great Smoky Mountains. It is very exciting to see a black bear while riding through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Many people pull their cars over or just stop causing a road hazard. Please remember to take precautions if you are in the Great Smoky Mountains and see a bear: stay back, do not run after or engage with the bear, do not feed, and do not interfere with the bears’s progress. Just observe from a distance. Use your zoom setting on the camera to get pictures without approaching the bear too closely. Remember  bear safety is for you and the bear! Take a look at some black bear sightings caught on video.
