Review & FAQ:
Silers Bald is located on the Appalachian Trail, about 4 miles from Clingmans Dome, and is part of both the states of North Carolina and Tennessee, as it lies squarely on the border between the two. Balds are named for the grassy or rocky patches, usually at the summit, that are unique to the typical wooded slopes of most mountains in the region. The views from Silers Bald are pretty, but the main attraction in the hike lies in the wildlife seen along the trail to the top. The trail to Silers Bald also affords the opportunity to bag three peaks in one hike, on a 10-mile round trip that starts at Clingmans Dome and leads over Mount Buckley and Jenkins Knob on the way.
