Review:

Clingman's Dome is located inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park and is the highest point in the state of Tennessee.

This tall mountain reaches 6,643 feet at its summit, which is accessible by a paved trail that leads to the observation tower at the top.

From there, visitors can see amazing 360-degree panoramic views of the park and the surrounding mountains, which on a clear day can expand for over 100 miles.

The paved trail is half a mile long and quite steep, and temperatures at the top can be quite extreme. The observation tower can be reached by car or via the Appalachian Trail.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
