From the parking lot, a paved, approximately one-kilometer-long path leads to the mountain's viewing platform. The platform is also wheelchair accessible. From the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

There is an interesting observation tower on the Clingmans Dome and a magnificent view when there is no fog. You can also drive up from Newfound Gap. The road is closed from December 1st to March 31st, then only the hike over the AT or over the road is recommended, where you always have beautiful views of the country.

The second highest mountain of the Appalachians and the highest peak of Tennessee in the Great Smoky Nationa Park :)
