Cades Cove is a beautiful low area in the Smokies. Until the government took over the land for the park in the 1930's, this area was a thriving community. The cove, called a "geologic window", has eroded through the Great Smoky thrust fault to expose even more ancient rock.

It is very difficult to photograph the Arches because they are so large.
