From Parking Lot

Easy 1 mile RT walk from parking lot to my 17th State HP. Summit was obscured in clouds and a light rain.

Too bad it's so touristy. I stepped off the paved trail on to the AT to cross the highest point on the AT and although it was like I-95 on the paved trail not a soul was on the AT.

Heading north

Did this as part of a two week backpack of a section of the AT before there were such things as through hikers and trail names. We had the trail to ourselves until we came to Clingman's Dome. Alone again after Newfound Gap.

Highpoint # 15

Third of five in a highpoint and whiskey trail driving vacation. Fantastic hike on the AT from the Fork Ridge Trailhead parking lot. Happily there was some visibility from the tower ... just stunning!

Glorious day and glorious views

It was a picture postcard day. Just perfect. The views were just incredible...

Great Smokey Mountains

Although I could have easily hiked less, I managed to eek out 6.1 miles hiking from the parking lot to the top of the tower and back via a little of the Appalachian Trail.

HP #30!

Drove up here and hiked a short distance to watch the sunset. VERY CROWDED and touristy! But the sunset was absolutely breathtaking.

1rst summit I did at sunset...gorgeous! 2nd summit I did along my AT thru hike in 04/2017 and it was really crowded which I suspect is common

Very Foggy

Walked the easy road up. You can call it cheating, but its another high point. Disappointed at the view because it was so foggy.

Highpoint #18

Remnants of Tropical Storm Nate and it being under construction kept me from really enjoying this summit. t was cold and windy...I will have to come back!

Clingmans Dome #10

The man made summit was under construction, but I was able to find the top of the mountain and take a little stroll on the Appalachian Trail on the way back down.
