Brittany Polk:

"This was one of the best hikes on our trip. We didn't walk to Clingman's Dome first. We walked the path just before you head towards Clingman's Dome. The view on the walk is unique. Once we hit the Application trail there was a couple of places to get a view. It took about an hour to walk 1.5 miles. It is a little strainuous, but definitely worth it. I would not go to Clingman's Dome first as for the walk up the ramp is very steep."

"The walk up to the dome is a steep paved road; they do have benches periodically for the people who need to stop and rest. It is worth the hike, you will not be disappointed! Gorgeous views! Also you can hike the Appalachian trail, look for the sign. We went early November and it was very busy, so I suggest going early for parking."

"Make sure you plan ahead for this trip, it's about an hour drive on the road up to there, but with rush hour at this site it took an extra hour to wait in line for parking in the lot. If you have little ones be sure to carry them in the backpacks because the 0.5 trail you trek to it is a very steep incline and it will let you know if you're not in shape! I'd rate lower for the wait and the trek up there, but the sight seeing you get for all of that is well worth it!"

"Very nice views of the smokies. Pretty steep if you have walking difficulty. I used a power wheel chair (coming down was the worst) Parking is limited but people come and go pretty quickly. Definitely worth a visit. Nice gift shop. Has access to other trails also."

"Some of the best views in the smokies. Come early to watch the sunrise! Absolutely breath taking and humbling views. It is hard to find words to describe this place. The parking lot fills up very fast so plan on getting here early if you want to experience it in a quiet personal manner. The trail to clingmans dome is paved and only 1/2 mile but it does gain elevation quickly. They do provide benches to take a break on."
