Self-proclaimed as the highest point in the Smokies, it's the third-highest point east of the Mississippi River. Thus, it makes for quite an incredible sunset view. I know my last post involved a sunset as well, but this one is deserving of its own as well.
It's about a half-mile hike, just like previously-written-about High Ground Park. The only difference is that Clingmans Dome is, like, straight vertical. If I was judging by the eye, I'd say it's somewhere between a 10- and 15-degree difference. Pretty steep.
But, judging by the pictures below, well worth it. It's breathtaking up there. Also, it's about 20 degrees colder with a significant wind chill. One might want to bring a sweater and pants when they go up there. This Florida boy was unaware of the cold and froze during his first trip.
