Clingman’s Dome is the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at 6,643 feet. The hike is 1.2 miles out and back marked at moderate. The views definitely make this hike a must do. We happened to have perfect weather this trip. Smalls and Talls have been there a few times before and when they left the parking lot the sky was clear and when they reached the top, storms rolled in and obstructed their view. One trip, a thunderstorm hit and they were watching lightening hit below them. Quite a different and unnerving experience.
