| I had a lot of fun climbing to the overlook tower with a couple of young nephews who found more joy in scaling every rock face that lined the paved walkway than the views from the top. | |

| tcole21 | Alright Date Climbed: Oct 15, 2007 | |
| I hate that there is a road to the top! We went to Charlies Bunion first and then walked up the paved path to the summit. It would be a lot better if there weren't so many people up there! | |

| jeffh25 | "Smokies" Bear Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2009 | |
| Even in the clouds and fog it was still a great place. About 49 degrees on top in July was nice, especially if you're from Texas. Saw a Bear on the way down too! | |

| Redwic | Part Of A Hiking Trifecta!!! Date Climbed: May 23, 2009 | |
| I summited Clingmans Dome, Mount Love, and Mount Buckley all during the same hike. Clingmans Dome was my second State Highpoint of the day (Sassafras Mountain was the first), and my 34th State Highpoint reached overall. | |

| WoundedKnee | Easy way up Date Climbed: May 18, 2009 | |
| With my 2 year old son and parents. Unseasonably cool. Fantastic views from the gaudy concrete structure at the top. | |

| VermontMike | "Hiked" to the summit Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2008 | |
| Man that paved half-mile "hike" was tough. Wish I had my rollerblades, that would have been a funny sight. | |

| Hotoven | Always foggy? Date Climbed: Mar 10, 2009 | |
| Came up on it after cutting over from Chimney Tops. It was super foggy and could not even see the ground once in the dome. we did a 19 mile hike round trip to get there too! | |

| mtsptfam | 2nd times the Charm Date Climbed: Nov 5, 2008 | |
| This is my 2nd time up. The first time was on a backpacking trip in the smokies which yielded no view because the weather was so bad I could only see about 20yards. This time, even though I took the drive up, I could see the whole way to Mount Mitchell. Bummer I can't get to it's summit because it is closed for "construction". | ||

| nextyearranier | Took the high road Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2005 | |
| Cheated and took the road, but hiked the steep path for about a mile. Nice views, even with the fog. | |

| rangermatt | Busy busy busy Date Climbed: Oct 26, 2008 | |
| Probably won't be a busier day until...maybe Memorial Day. Everyone enjoying the last gasp of summer, with pleasant temperatures - borderline t-shirt weather. Interestingly, Americans seemed to be vastly outnumbered by international visitors. | |

| silversummit | Walked up on a cold day Date Climbed: Nov 5, 2006 | |
| We were driving through the NP and decided to see if the road was still open and this was the last weekend it was that season. I cannot pass up a chance to see any mountain view and take a picture so off I went. It was chilly, windy and almost no one was there so I felt like I was on top of the park; very pretty 360 degree views! I actually hiked very near here 26 years ago but didn't finish the trek up to the Dome. | |

| I was expecting a USGS marker somewhere but never saw it. Not a bad place. | |
