An area of the Great Smoky Mountians National Park that doesn’t seem to get as much notice or vistors is the Cataloochee Valley section. The Cataloochee has much to offer those with an adventurous spirit and wanting to experience more of the Smoky Mountain nature.In the beautiful Cataloochee Valley, you can tour a school, churches, a barn, and several homes. Five historic buildings are located along the road in the valley. If you’re willing to walk a couple miles down the nearby Little Cataloochee Trail there are an additional four buildings to explore.  The Cataloochee originally consisted of farmland maintained by an agrarian community of approximately 1,000 people. While few of the original structures remain, Big Cataloochee, the largest of several coves in the area, is considered to be North Carolina’s “Cades Cove.”
