๐ฆฌ๐ป Gene the Bear made a stop in Cherokee, NC along the Great Smoky Mountain Parkwayโฆ and look who he spotted โ the elk herd! ๐ฒโจ
These majestic animals were reintroduced to the Smokies in 2001 and now roam freely in the fields and valleys around Cherokee and Cataloochee. Early morning or evening is the best time to catch a glimpse of them grazing. ๐
Itโs a truly unforgettable Smoky Mountain experience โ and one more reason to plan your adventure with us!
