Imagine riding up to Anakeesta and suddenly spotting a mama bear and her four cubs wandering right below your chair! That’s exactly what happened to one family in Gatlinburg, turning an ordinary trip into a wild adventure. The bears casually explored the parking lot and even paused for a berry snack, all while being filmed from above. Encounters like this remind us just how close Gatlinburg’s mountain magic is to everyday life. Have you ever had a surprise wildlife sighting in town?
