Clingmans Dome in Bryson City, NC, is home to the highest point in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, standing at 6,643 feet. Visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the park and beyond from the observation tower at the summit, accessible via a steep half-mile paved trail.
The cool, wet conditions on Clingmans Dome's summit support a unique spruce-fir forest, creating a coniferous rainforest environment. Proper preparation is key for a good visit, with temperatures often 10-20 degrees cooler than in the surrounding lowlands, making layers and a jacket essential even in summer.
