Can you see the bear?

Smoky Mountains supposedly has one of the densest populated groups of black bear. We ended up in two bear traffic jams during our visit. We were a bit shocked by the stupidity of people who thought following a full size bear was fun. I don't think they realize they can run at 30 miles per hour and I doubt they want to see their big claws and teeth up close.
