Short drive from Loudon
As winter approaches in the Smokies, Kuwohi Road (formerly Clingmans Dome Road) is closed beginning Monday, Dec. 2, for the season. It reopens in April 2025.
Fortunately, you can enjoy the views from Kuwohi through the chilly months ahead! A new, year-long we**am, funded by Friends of the Smokies, was installed on November 14, atop Kuwohi: www.nps.gov/subjects/air/we**ams.htm?site=grcd
The new we**am view from Kuwohi looks across the eastern half of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. On a clear day from the camera location, it's possible to see the southeastern end of the Smokies, along with prominent peaks, including Mt. Sterling (23 miles away) and peaks beyond the park boundary, like Mt. Mitchell (71 miles away) and even Big Bald (86 miles away).
You might even be able to see into the new year!
