We climbed up Clingmans Dome which at 6,643 feet is Great Smoky Mountains National Park's highest point. It is the highest point in Tennessee.
After walking a paved (but steep) half-mile trail there was a 54-foot observation tower. From which you can see to NC, TN, SC and GA! We had a wonderful sunny clear day and enjoyed the fabulous view before continuing on to Gatlinburg, TN.
The leaves in TN were much more spectacular than NC. While in Gatlinburg we took the aerial tram to the ski resort where we rode the Scenic Chairlift to get a good view of the fall leave colors and also rode the Alpine Slide. Unfortunately, Joe and I went behind a slow lady and her slower son and half of our alpine slide ride was braking so we didn't run into the pokey people ahead of us. But the leaves were very colorful!
