Itinerary description

A quick hike up to the Clingmans Dome observation deck. The trailhead (and this GPS track) starts at the end of Clingmans Dome parking lot, but we actually had to park an additional mile down Clingmans Dome Road because of the crowds. Good advice would be to either do this early in the morning, or else at some other time unlikely to be overcrowded, the number of people here definitely distracted from the otherwise awesome views.

Hike is only ~1.3 miles total round trip, paved trail with ~500 ft elevation gain.
