#highest #peak #smokymountains
Clingmans Dome is a prominent landmark and the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which straddles the border between Tennessee and North Carolina, USA. With an elevation of 6,643 feet (2,025 meters), it is not only the tallest mountain in the park but also the highest point in Tennessee and the third highest peak east of the Mississippi River in the United States. At the summit of Clingmans Dome is an iconic observation tower that offers panoramic views of the smokies and beyond. On clear days, visitors can enjoy sweeping vistas that extend over 100 miles and cover several states. The famous Appalachian Trail (AT), which stretches from Georgia to Maine, crosses Clingmans Dome, marking the highest point along its entire route. This makes Clingmans Dome a popular destination for hikers and backpackers, who may be traversing part of the AT or exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
