b'SpringTHE ICICLES OF WINTER are melting into the fresh morning dew of spring and new life begins to emerge. Large amounts of rainfall and melting snow allow Smoky Mountain waterfalls to put on a grand display of splendor. The mountains burst forth with a spectacle of beautiful colors adorned with over 1,400 species of wildflowers native to the Great Smoky Mountains. If youre lucky, youll have the opportunity to see tiny bear cubs following along behind their mother, deer sprinting through open fields, or other native wildlife enjoying the new warm temperatures as the sun melts away chilly winter days.
