A 1/2 mile hike from the parking lot up to the observation tower on Clingmans Dome in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The dead trees in the video are the result of an invasive insect called the Balsam Woolly Adelgid that kills the Fraser Fir trees that grow in the Smoky Mountains. Shot with Sony MHS-PM5/V Bloggie Pocketable HD Camera and an iphone 4s
They can go up those trees so very fast!
I saw a mom & 2 or 3 cubs in a cherry tree a couple weeks ago in Cades Cove. May have been these same bears? Very cool video!
We love the Smokies …. We just don’t get up there enough. I hoping we can make it in Thanksgiving and shoot some videos for my YouTube channel.
