No fireflies filmed (camera issues)! This video is more about getting in line, waiting, standing in line, paying $1 for the trolley ride, then waiting for the 'light show'. Was it worth it? Lets just say, it's like riding a recumbent trike.........., I wouldn't have it any other way!
The fireflies put on an unbelievable show that you'll just have to go see yourself!
I'm sorry I couldn't capture on video the fireflies, but felt that recording and posting the waiting line was something others had avoided. So, if you want to see videos of the fireflies, look elsewhere for those who used better recording equipment. Thanks
If you're still disappointed in this video, by all means please vote 'down' so you'll feel better!

Very informative, I was considering driving down from Kingsport on Wednesday.
Wow, you were there on Monday @ 4:30, left @ 7:30, the last car allowed in before 7:00? Rumor has it this occurs in other locations in the Smokies, this looks a little too crowded for me.
What about your traveling buddy, what did he think of the show.
Tell him I have six nieces and they all want his #. lol. Just kidding.

@94757598494309438 Not even the only site in the park, but this is the only site on this continent; the other being in SE Asia!
We left the staging area at 7:00PM to board the $1 trolley ride, the only legitimate form of transportation to the viewing area. There have been unconfirmed reports of sightings elsewhere in the park, but data does support that this only occurs at a 1200 ft elevation during mid June.
Kids grow best with parental guidance to healthy values. His #?.......Line forming!
