The trail as it descends from the Clingmans Dome parking lot. The rock steps make it easier to navigate this section of the trail.
Great views from up here.

Good morning, Great Smokies!
The final push as you near the Clingmans Dome Parking Lot. You can see the dead fir trees, victims of the sap sucking balsam woolly adelgid.

Parking lot view.
If hiking in the late spring or late fall, be careful of ice on the trail. This section is very shaded during the day, so snow and ice may not melt as fast as other areas.
