A photo story

Kuwohi, Tennessee

I made it up Kuwohi, the highest point in Tennessee, in May 2025. It used to be called Clingmans Dome, and it sits on the Tennessee and North Carolina line in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I took this selfie up on the observation tower, with the dark spruce and fir tops right below and blue ridges going out behind.

You get there on a short, steep paved walk from the Kuwohi parking area, and the park needs a parking tag if you stay longer than 15 minutes. That same day I stopped at a Smokies overlook, and Laura and I took a photo under a rock overhang.
