North Carolina

Blue Ridge Parkway

Black Bear in the Smoky Mountains
Every pleasant day they can be seen along U.S. 441 highway between Chimneys Campground and Newfound Gap, on the upper North Carolina slope, and on the upper Dome road.  Park officials estimate that the bear population now exceeds 200, and is increasing year by year.

  1. Great pictures - wish I'd kept all my old postcards.
    I was wondering if I could use the bear picture to illustrate one of my own posts? Thanks
