About Clingmans Dome
The roof of the Smokies, with a spiral observation tower above the clouds. The road closes in winter; fog is a way of life up here.
Summit temperature is estimated from the Gatlinburg forecast using the −6.5°C/1,000 m lapse rate. Expect much stronger wind and lower visibility on the tops, and treat the freezing level as a guide rather than a measurement.
