USA ~ Cades Cove - Great Smoky Mountains National Park UNESCO ~

... Lovely view of Cades Cove, the most popular destination for visitors in the Great Smokeys... located in a 4,000-acre valley, it attracts more than two million visitors a year and is famous for its well-preserved historic buildings, lovely mountain vistas, and unrivaled wildlife viewing... this picturesque valley is surrounded by a one-way 11-mile loop that features multiple interesting locations... it's a gorgeous part of the Smokey Mountains National Park with a lot of history filled with remnants of the old American pioneers... Thanks Jamie!【ツ】

Cades Cove is an isolated valley located in the Tennessee section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. European settlers settled here in the early 1800s.

Established in 1926, Great Smoky Mountains National Park is comprised of ridge upon ridge of seemingly endless forest on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee. Called the Smokies due to the ever-present morning fog. The park encompasses 522,419 acres ( 2,114.15 km2), making it one of the largest protected areas in the eastern United States.
