Wears Valley is a beautiful valley that shares the same geologic features as Cades Cove and Tuckaleechee Cove. They are all called limestone coves, which contain the fertile soil that attracted the early settlers. Cove Mountain rises dramatically above Wears Valley. This mountain is the tallest mountain in Tennessee, outside the National Park.
