Clingman's Dome





Blake and I took a quick trip up to Clingman's Dome, the highest point in the Smokies and the third highest east of the Mississippi, on Saturday. Rain spoiled our plans for a backpacking trip. Here are a couple shots from the trip to the top. It was a little cloudy but pretty clear. We also hiked to Andrew's Bald which was about 4 miles round trip. It was a very nice bald with some nice views of Fontana Lake down below.

Side note: if you are looking for solitude in the mountains, never go to Clingman's Dome. There are about 5,873 rednecks, kinda like the Wal Mart of the Smoky Mountains.
