Clingmans Dome: Tennessee's Highest Peak and a Smoky Mountains Landmark

Clingmans Dome reaches 6,684 feet (2,037 m) above sea level, making it:

• The highest point in Tennessee.
• The highest point in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
• The third-highest peak east of the Mississippi (after Mt. Mitchell, NC and Mt. Craig, NC).

A paved 0.5-mile trail leads to an observation tower offering 360° views of the Smokies. On clear days, visibility exceeds 100 miles. The Appalachian Trail crosses the summit.
