The "Forest Cathedral" is a unique natural area located within the boundaries of the Old-Growth Forests of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It features towering trees that create a cathedral-like canopy, allowing sunlight to filter through and nourish the diverse plant life below. This ecosystem supports various species of flora and fauna, making it a vital habitat for wildlife. Visitors to the Forest Cathedral can enjoy hiking along trails that showcase the beauty of ancient trees, some of which are over 100 years old. The area is also significant for its ecological importance, contributing to the overall health of the Appalachian region's environment.
