Kristina Plaas’s Reviews > Clingmans Dome:: Highest Mountain in the Great Smokies > Status Update

"This is the story of a mountain --explored by the curious, measured by the ambitious, towered by the creative, climbed by the hardiest, catalogued by the scientists, exploited by the greedy, ravaged by unwanted pests and loved by Cherokee Indians forced west, clinging to ancestral roots." This is a superbly written account of the crowning jewel of the Smokies. I'm slowly savoring every detail. Highly recommended!
