Black Bears Run Wild In Cades Cove – Gatlinburg
Black bears aren’t so frightening… at least when they’re way up in the trees! We spotted a mama bear and her cubs up high in a tree at Cades Cove in Gatlinburg, TN. It was incredibly exciting.
Day Trips
Here’s a list of fun things to do on a single day or over a weekend — all just a short drive from Nashville. From drive-in movies, festivals, and state parks (which are always free in Tennessee) to sightseeing, camping, and whitewater rafting in the Smoky Mountains (including Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and North Carolina)… we have lots of fun road trip ideas if you’re in search of outdoor fun! Or you could head to nearby Kentucky and enjoy Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, or just spend a day driving in your favorite vehicle (car, RV, motorcycle) while touring Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail distilleries. May as well tour the Jack Daniel’s distillery too… in Lynchburg, TN!
