点评:Ok first off I was promised bears. Now on our 2 trips around the loop we did not in fact see any bears and not much wildlife at all. We saw a few wild turkeys squirrels and some white tail deer. All of which I can see at home. Well not the white tail deer. Mule deer are native to where I live. Anyway we got up early to beat the heavy crowds and arrived before sunrise. There was already a line of people and we waited to enter the loop. There was quite a bit of “smoke” or mist in the flats making for some beautiful views and the trees are starting to change color. We made it around the loop quite quick considering we expected 3 hours for the 11 miles but with limited wildlife we didn’t really stop, just drove slow. I would recommend this drive however do not expect to see wildlife every time. It was worth the drive but I’m sad I didn’t see any bears. The internet makes it look like they are everywhere but I didn’t see one my entire time in pigeon forge, the Smokey’s and surrounding areas.
翻译:好吧,首先,当时有人向我保证能看到熊。但在我们两次环游一圈的行程中,实际上我们一根熊毛都没见到,野生动物也很少。我们只看到了几只野生火鸡、松鼠和一些白尾鹿。这些动物我在家里也能见到——不过白尾鹿除外。我住的地方原生的鹿种是骡鹿。不管怎样,为了避开大量游客,我们一大早就起床,在日出前就到了。那时已经有一排人在排队,我们就等着进入环形区域。平坦的路段上弥漫着薄雾,形成了非常美丽的景致,树木也开始变色了。原本我们预计11英里的路程需要3个小时,但实际上我们很快就走完了。由于途中看到的野生动物很少,我们也就没有特意停下来,只是慢慢驾车前行而已。我推荐这条驾车路线,不过可别指望每次都能看到野生动物。这次驾车之旅挺值得的,只是很遗憾没能看到任何熊。互联网让人觉得它们到处都有,但在我在皮金福里、斯莫基山脉及周边地区逗留的整个期间,我一个都没见到。
