The Smokies are a premier wildlife viewing area. Early in the morning and late in the evening are the best times for viewing. Cades Cove and Cataloochee have large open spaces, providing excellent opportunities for viewing, but wildlife sightings are common throughout the Park. Bears are the most sought after.
