Guests from across the area come to North Carolina to see the “shadow of the bear”—an annual pure phenomenon in Jackson County. The viewing interval is simply yearly, between mid-October and early November, making it a enjoyable add-on attraction for people who find themselves already within the space to get pleasure from fall foliage.

Native information stories that for about 45 minutes every day in the course of the viewing window, the setting solar casts a shadow of Whiteside Mountain that appears like a bear on the valley under. WYFF 4 News interviewed a number of guests who had come to see the bear shadow, and a few reported seeing the shadow morph into totally different animals because the solar set.
