Newfound Gap
I took this photograph in 2016 during my yearly autumn visit to the national park.
Newfound Gap Road has a unique history. In 1872, a man named Arnold Henry Guyot measured many Southern Appalachian elevations and discovered that the area known as Newfound Gap was lower in elevation than the known lowest gap in the Great Smoky Mountain range, Indian Gap. Newfound Gap has an elevation of 5,046 feet and runs from Gatlinburg, Tennessee to Cherokee, North Carolina. You will have great views of the mountain ranges, and you will see evergreen firs and pine oaks. A major stopping point along Newfound Gap is Clingmans Dome, an observation tower with the highest elevation in the national park. The hike to the top is paved and fairly short, so you should check it out along your drive!
