Clingmans Dome is one of the best places to view the beautiful changing colors of fall foliage. It is the highest point in the Great Smokey Mountains and Tennessee with an elevation of 6643 feet. On a clear day the spectacular view from Clingmans Dome provides the sightseer with the chance to see the five surrounding states of Kentucky, Georgia, South and North Carolina, and Tennessee all in one place.

Clingmans Dome

Traveling amid the Great Smokey Mountains on Highway 441 offers one of the most scenic state crossings in the United States. Almost exactly halfway through the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, Tennessee and North Carolina’s state lines are crossed. At this spot a seven mile departure off of the main route of Newfound Gap (441) can be taken to access the Clingmans Dome Observation Tower. Offering many magnificent overlooks along the way, Clingmans Dome Road saves the best for last.

Arriving at the dead end of Clingmans Dome Road and into the parking area, the amazing panoramic views come alive. Although a traveler is already at 6311 feet, there is the opportunity given for those who wish to go even higher. A paved but rather steep trail guides the hiker past the visitor’s center and then another half mile up to the peak of 6643 feet. On the peak is a concrete observation tower which provides a complete all-encompassing look at the endless Smokey Mountains.
