Place names like Cataloochee and Oconaluftee, Charlies Bunion and Clingsmans Cove recall the history of settlement in the region. Photographer Adam Jones showcases the beauty of the park in every stunning season. Park naturalist Steve Kemp explains both the natural environment and the creation of the national park.
