The Elk of Cataloochee in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Located
in the remote Southeast corner of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the
Cataloochee Valley. And since the National Park Service reintroduced elk into
the valley in 2001, wildlife lovers from all over the world have crossed the
Cataloochee Divide to see the beautiful creatures!
It’s And it's not just the sight of the elk that will take your breath away. The bugling of a bull elk is a sound that you will never forget, and can be heard for miles!
If you visit the valley, always keep in mind that the elk are very large and strong wild animals. Do not approach, molest, or interfere with elk movement and activities. Although the elk are equipped with radio transmitters to monitor their movement, they are not tame. Always exercise extreme caution and keep a safe distance away.
Although there is no lodging, the Cataloochee Campground is a great to stay for an extended visit, and there are several backcountry campsites as well. Reservations are suggested as the camps can fill up quickly!
