Great video! One of the most beautiful places to visit!!!
Wonderful video Thank you!!!
Do you have a digital version I could purchase?
why do they have horns
When are the rangers going to fine $$ these people who get way to close to the bears?? And park in the middle of the road at Cades cove??
And people have the nerve to say we have no culture or heritage.
Iranian butchers have been using very same design and same size knife for hundreds of years.
I was just there summer of 2023
Well, okay.... 😊
This is the most beautiful worship music I’ve ever heard
does this tree still exist after the hemlock wooly adelgid
I absolutely LOVE this!🥰
I raise their tadpoles and in January there is the most beautiful chorus I get to enjoy.
My family settled there in 1836. You can still visit our family home the Caldwell house. Also, Catalooche means "land of the noon day sun". Not standing in a row.
My favorite place to visit!!!
Amen to that! I went to sixteen countries when I was in the Marines and no place compares to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My favorite place ever to visit.
I love everything about Forest and mountain,but the Smokies come out differently for me.I see the great people that visit and how happy they are.And now I get to see the minds and hands behind the great job.And I ask myself ,why do we live anywhere else.Why cant we just work to creat and protect more Smokies around us.Thankyou everyone who thought about what to do to make the Smokies Great.
Just remember, if you see a bear, make sure to outdance it! Bears love a good dance-off in the wild 😂🕺
Life member since 2003!
you can see why the south american natives never invented the wheel as they didn't need to
I am a member and I am concerned about the changes I have seen in the past couple of years. My main purpose for taking the 6-hour drive to the Smokies is to visit Cades Cove with the exciting prospect of seeing the bears. In the past when a bear came near the roadway, Park Rangers would station themselves there to keep people back and allow the bears some space, allowing for viewing and pictures to be taken. It was orderly and afforded great opportunities to see the bears. Now, however, when a bear comes anywhere near the road, rangers prohibit viewing or even stopping and shout at you as if you committed some terrible offense if you even slow down. The long lines that usually occurred when bears were present were somewhat annoying, but I feel necessary for us to endure to see the bears. I have seen bears with cubs walk between cars and people with no incidents and creating a great deal of pleasure. I have been with groups of people who stood and watched and photographed the bears who tend to ignore us anyway, for extended periods of time, making our visit to Cades Cove well worth the drive. Now, not so much. So, now, if you want to see a bear in Tennessee, you might as well go to the Memphis Zoo. This interaction with bears and people never appeared to harm or upset the bears, as they have gotten used to cars and walking humans. It appears it bothers the Rangers more than the bears.
Pathetic not even a flip, disgusting snail, he sucks
Anyone know why you can't filter on store website anymore
Hi there! We're currently updating some of the features of the online store and the search function/filter is included in that.
I heard those few notes of Holy Manna and I was instantly taken there.
Very nice! My favorite place on all of planet Earth and I have been to sixteen countries (United States Marine Corps). We were last at GSMNP to hike Mt. LeConte this past October.
Beautiful we try to come up there a couple times a year!
I love all the stories of Cades Cove! Tks for sharing! 👏🏻🧑🏻🦰🇨🇦
Wild to think it had never snowed in the smokies before this video took place, checkmate climate deniers
My dad was raised on Eagle Creek and went to school at Proctor. His brothers worked at the copper mine and grandmother and my aunts ran a boarding house for the miners. Grandad drove the Shey steam engine that took the copper or down to the mainline.
What they don't tell you about is mountain lions and wolves.or the other nefarious events that occur in all parks.never listen ti employees of government or parks.they care about there careers not you
10 years ago is there only video?....th
Beautiful!!!!!
I could listen to this guy, all day
ruclips.net/video/_2abOssoQvA/видео.htmlsi=3bGKtQ-NZYCxTwMA
Wow. Incredible to see natural so close. A gift from God
Beautiful music being sung to our Lord Jesus.🙏🏻🙌
I still can remember my grandparents making syrup in Alabama when I was a child, mule in all. I did my part by eating up the sugar cane😅😊
Trust Jesus Christ the SON of GOD!!! Roman’s 10:9 KJV , Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV, 1 John 1:9 KJV. You can look those up on Google . Jesus died and Resurrected for YOUR sins .
Every video about parks should be like this. Music, wildlife, nature, beautiful scenic shots. Great video!
Gorgeous version of this song to support wildlife and sharing our planet with its other sentient beings who deserve to be able to live safely.
Thanks for this song to support wild animals and to remind us that we need to share the planet with other species.
Going to purchase this book
I absolutely love this type music
This is a beautiful, and educational video! The ladies of "The Fates" are very talented, and turn what could be a bland service message, into something people will take the time to listen to. Well done!
In the Sacred Harp, this is The Promised Land, no. 128, one of the greats
Wunderbar
Great information!
2 boys playing with matches caused this fire and the deaths that followed. They have been allowed to escape due to parental influence. Sad.
i caught one with a cup in a creek by picking up a rock and swiping a cup under and somehow catching one so i put it in my fishtank with the other things i caught in the creek and it may have been eaten or have died before adapting because ive never seen it since it ran away when i dumped it out.
Too bad this parkway won't be completed in my lifetime.
INCREDIBLE!!!!
