Mama Bear with Cub in The Great Smoky Mountains

We had decided our first morning at the cabin, we wanted to head to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to drive through Cades Cove.  In 2018, we joined my parents, siblings, and their families to a trip in the same area and we loved driving through Cades Cove, so I knew what to expect and was anxious to go again.  We were not disappointed at all!  We saw so many bears (I think it was 7 or 8), including this mama bear with her cub.  We stayed and watched them for a while as we were some of the first ones to spot them and had a great spot where we had pulled off the road.  We actually drove through Cades Cove a 4 or 5 times on this trip, but the first time was by far the best.  One of the times we went it was sprinkling, another time was early morning with fog, and another was dusk.  But even with the changing weather, it's still a lovely drive.
