If you want to climb to the highest point in the Smokies, you need to visit the Smokies. Be careful, though, if you come too early in the season, the road will still be closed for snow. We went in late March the first time and were unable to visit, but it was open when we went back in June.
The climb up the domb is quite high, as you can see in this picture.
Once you make it to the top, the view is magnificent! The view quality has a lot to do with how clear the day is – and the Smokies didn’t get their name for no reason. So, don’t expect to be able to see clearly for miles and miles. Nonetheless, it is fabulous!
I guess I have shared enough photos of my boys that it is only fair that I include one with me in it….as you can see, I am not the most physically fit of people and I made it on all of these trails and up Clingman’s Domb, so you can too!

Hi,
I’m a blogging intern too! Your pictures about Gaitlinburg and the Smokies have me thinking that my family needs to take a trip. The pictures are awesome. We don’t live too far away either. I look forward to seeing your other travel sites!

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for dropping by! You really should go to the Smokies, especially if it is not too far away from you. I have been there three times and we have another trip planned for October. It is one of our favorite places to visit.
