Clingman's Dome is located on the highest peak in Tennessee at 6,643 ft. According to Cherokee legend, the area is home to "White Bear" the great chief of all bears. All who have visited here cannot help but feel not only the beauty but also the sacredness of this place. Much of the year the peak is shrouded in clouds and mist. The best time to visit the dome is at dawn or sunset.
Spectacular early morning shots at dawn looking into the mountains of North Carolina from the Clingman's Dome area. We had seen heavy thunderstorms during the night and the morning mist still hung heavy in the air. The feeling was one of awe and deep appreciation for God's creation as I looked across the mountains into the rising sun.
