Kuwohi

Breathtaking place to see on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. I visited November 2nd. There was no problem finding a parking spot. Weather was cold and freezing on top. Good to see 360 degree view of mountains. Climb is ok. Not too hard. Better to walk slowly to observation tower. Because it gets cold and windy up there. Seeing snow covered trees was spectacular.

A must visit place. The views are incredible. Took some amazing pictures. The trail is paved and easy to walk on. However, it is steep and requires some effort.

This major landmark just over state line of Tennessee from North Carolina located in the Great Smoky mountains national Park is a 360° concrete Tower on the pic of the highest point in the area there is a half mile trail and curving concrete ramp up to the tower from the parking lot this is not a very accessible walk for elderly people or people with health conditions such as long or heart ailments however the views from the parking lot at the base of the ramp up to the tower or spectacular and are worth the drive and the weight even if you don't make it up to the tower also there are very many overlooks on the way up to the parking lot from the entrance to the national Park that offer amazing views also

Great place to visit! If you are able, then do the hike from New Found Gap! Camp along the AT then walk back! But if not then plan to spend an extra hr! I promise with traffic and parking it will add an hr to your trip!

This is a must see if you are visiting Smoky mountain. Once at the top there are plenty of parking spaces available. After parking there is a decent hike up a paved path up to the Kuwohi observation tower which was known as clingmans dome in the past. It's a steep 10-15 min hike. You can stop and sit many times if hike is an issue. Once at the top the view is amazing. Once you hike down there are 5 restrooms available. Once at the top there may not be data but they have a tower to make emergency phone calls.

A small hike that leads to an amazing view point. On the observatory, one can see a 360 degrees view of the mesmerising mountains. The stretch of green is soul satisfying provided there is no fog and clouds blocking the view. We had a good time until the mist began to cascade the ranges and envelope the entire mountains.

Awesome view. We'll worth negotiating the windy road leading to it and the 1/2 mile uphill trek up to the tower.

Parking was pretty crowded so you will possible have to loop a couple times to find a spot. Only restrooms are vault toilets that were absolutely disgusting. The trail up to the tower was a fairly steep uphill paved path with benches along the way to stop and sit. We went in the afternoon and there was no shade so I’m sure it can get pretty warm in the summer. Going up the tower was easy and the top had stunning views. It felt rather crowded for the small space but everyone was being kind and taking turns taking pictures.
