Clingmans Dome

Clingmans Dome, the state highpoint of TN, May 13, 2011. This was part of my Southern 6-pack highpoint trip. I flew into Knoxville, then hit the state HPs for TN, GA, SC, NC, KY and VA over a 3-day weekend.

Welcome to N. Carolina!

Tennessee is a confusing highpoint, as the lookout tower is in N. Carolina, yet we all get our TN highpoint photo either on the tower or with the tower in the photo. In fairness, you might actually be standing in TN in this photo. Great job on doing all 50.

Re: Welcome to N. Carolina!

That's a keen observation that only a highpointer would notice! :-)

I took photos on the tower but I didn't post those for the very reason that you mentioned. I am standing on the actual high point as close as I can tell, which is on the state line. If Google maps is accurate, that spot is more or less where the tower ramp starts. I looked everywhere for a USGS marker but the only one I could find was near the trailhead.
