Wow, you're good First stop south of. Was a good day in spite of the weather and 12ft visibility for the best part of 75 miles. Managed to spot a bobcat 3ft from the car (no time to reach for camera) a bear at the top of a tree (first stop south of Skyland) that I got some very poor pics of, and a momma bear with two cubs crossing the road 6ft in front of us (didn't even think of the camera till they'd left).
yeah skyline is good place to see black bears.. If you get a few days off travel Blue Ridge pkwy all the way and visit Smokey mountains, Cherohala skyway and Deals Gap; here is some info: Tail of the Dragon Touring Route Maps and Descriptions for Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiner28, Devils Triangle, Six Gap North Georgia and beyond.
