Our 3rd highest peak for the day (July 11, 2010) was Clingmans Dome at 6,643 feet. We were fast running out of daylight so we quickly hiked the 1/2-mile paved trail to the top. This hike is also very steep. I couldn't believe how cool it was for July. We also had our first glimpse of the AT here. One of the best moments here was watching two grown men push their mother in her wheelchair up the steep incline all the way to the top of the observation tower. Heartwarming!
