Here’s an article on hiking all 900 miles of Smoky Mountain National Park.
Clingmans Dome Road will close for the season on December 1.
Clingmans Dome Road is going to be closed (again) on Sept. 13-18 to conclude the final paving and striping on the large parking lot that serves visitors to the observation tower, and will re-grade the gravel shoulders.
The nonprofit Cades Cove Heritage Tours has changed its name to Smoky Mountain Discovery and will
begin offering hiker shuttlies.
Researchers hope that the new round of fraser firs will survive the balsam woolly adelgid on Clingmans Dome.
The Clingmans Dome Road (which was scheduled to re-open in May and June 19) will not open until June 19 while work continues on it. The roadwork is a result of $80 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus) funds allocated to the Smokies.
Volunteers are being sought to staff the new Information Center on Clingmans Dome. The Center will be in the former Civilian Conservation Corps restroom building (which has been GREATLY renovated). The staffing is being coorindated through the Great Smoky Mountains Assoication, which since 1953 has provided the official store for the park.
The Dickson Herald reports the Great Smoky Mountains National Park site and highest point in Tennessee — hit 72 degrees Friday.
