"Clingman’s Dome is located inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park and is the highest point in the state of Tennessee. This tall mountain reaches 6,643 feet at its summit, which is accessible by a paved trail that leads to the observation tower at the top. From there, visitors can see amazing 360-degree panoramic views of the park and the surrounding mountains, which on a clear day can expand for over 100 miles."

"Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, standing at 6,643 feet. The best spot to take in the sights is from the observation tower, which offers 360-degree views of the Smoky Mountains and beyond. The half-mile walk to the top of the tower is well worth it!"

"The highest point in the Smoky Mountains provides some of the best views you will ever see…period. Once you travel the 7 miles up Clingman’s Dome Road, the views become amazing. There’s a steep walkway up to the observation tower about half a mile from the parking lot."

"McCampbell was a blacksmith, carpenter, and the church’s minister. The original log building was replaced with the current one in 1902. As with the Primitive Baptist Church, America’s Civil War divided the church."

"A quintessential Appalachian waterfall, Hen Wallow spans 90 vertical feet and spills silvery currents of water over ink-dark slabs of rock. Mosses cover the nearby cliffs, and salamanders swim in the pool below the falls. (30 salamander species..."

"Hen Wallow Creek, only two feet wide at the top of the falls, fans out to 20 feet at the base. The waterfall is 90 feet high, ranking it among the tallest in the National Park.5"

"Just a block away from Market Square and diagonal to the East Tennessee History Center, it’s a great place to start the day with some caffeine and pleasant conversation with your barista. And if you like the neighborhood already, that’s greater than great since you’ll be looping back around to it later in the day."

"Barrelhouse by Gypsy Circus offers 40 taps of craft cider, wine, mead and local craft beers, along with a full food menu."

"A 3-minute walk to Market Square from Gay Street will take you to the next rooftop bars on my list: Preservation Pub and the adjacent Bernadette’s Crystal Gardens. Preservation Pub (known to locals as either Pres Pub or P-Pub) is Knoxville’s longest running rooftop bar owned by locals Scott and Bernadette West. These two have a fun and infamous story that I’ll save for another day, but they definitely know a thing or two when it comes to creating a rooftop ambiance."

"A late brunch with live jazz is always a good idea; a late brunch with live jazz and an internationally inspired bloody mary menu only ups the stakes. Head to the historic Woodruff Building, home of the beautiful Downtown Grill & Brewery, for a one-of-a-kind Sunday brunch that has something for everyone. Peruse a full menu of late-morning favorites, as well as the restaurant's dinner menu, and feel comfortable taking the kids too — the under-12 menu (complete with cereal offerings) is sure to please young diners, who can color while they wait."

They have a large menu with an eclectic array of dishes like pork chops, burritos and pastas, but what brings home the bacon here is the huge selection of beers."

"Scrambled Jakes is a relative newcomer to the Knoxville breakfast scene. But it didn’t take long for Knoxvillians to fall in love with this breakfast haven. And what’s not to love?"
