Elk to draw wildlife buffs in Cataloochee Valley.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
CATALOOCHEE, N.C. _ Black bear and white-tailed deer have reclaimed Cataloochee Valley.
Soon, newly introduced elk will get their chance.
Earlier this month, Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials trucked in 25 North American elk from Kentucky and released them into a temporary holding pen.
Park officials plan to set the elk free in mid-April, marking an experimental but historic return of the animals to their former haunts of two centuries ago.
If the elk settle into the remote, 3-mile-long valley, they will become Cataloochee's newest and biggest attraction. Last year, Cataloochee drew 85,000 visitors, ranger Walt West said.
"That number's going to change significantly," West predicted. "It's going to go up a lot."
Not only will the animals become the nearest wild elk for residents of the Carolinas but also for those in Georgia and Florida.
