It is a beautiful, narrow cove of rich land that eroded from the mountainsides for millions of years. At one time the mountains were high and the valley steep, but today the valley has filled, and the once majestic mountains are now the sloping sides of the cove. The cove is richly forested in cedars, hickories, sweet gums, and oaks. The forest floor beneath the tree canopy is covered with laurel and sumac, and the pastures are alive with grasses, herbs, and wildflowers. A generous animal population of squirrel, raccoon, deer, opossum, rabbit, and bear enjoy this lush area, along with many kinds of birds.
