Clingman’s Dome in Smoky mountain National Park

Clingman's Dome is a mountain peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the eastern United States. It is the highest point in the park, and the third-highest peak east of the Mississippi River, with an elevation of 6,643 feet (2,025 meters) above sea level.

Clingman's Dome is named after Thomas L. Clingman, a prominent 19th-century American explorer and scientist who studied flora and fauna of the region. The mountain is a popular destination for tourists, hikers, and nature lovers, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

A paved road leads to the parking area at the base of the mountain, and from there, visitors can hike a steep half-mile trail to the summit observation tower. The tower provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the Tennessee and North Carolina border and the Appalachian Trail, which passes by the mountain.

Clingman's Dome is also an important site for scientific research, with several weather monitoring stations and other research facilities located on the summit. The mountain's high elevation and remote location make it an ideal place for studying weather patterns, climate change, and other environmental factors.
