Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Cades Cove Postcard

UNESCO WHS Serie - Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Cades Cove - Stretching over more than 772 sq mi (2'000 km2), this exceptionally beautiful park is home to more than 3'500 plant species, including almost as many trees (130 natural species) as in all of Europe. Many endangered animal species are also found there, including what is probably the greatest variety of salamanders in the world. Since the park is relatively untouched, it gives an idea of temperate flora before the influence of humankind. Cades Cove is an isolated valley located in the Tennessee section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The valley was home to numerous settlers before the formation of the national park.
