Down yes, but not downhill unfortunately. Clingman's Dome is the highest point on the Appalachian Trail at 6,643 feet. The last four dyas climbing up from Fontana Dam were challenging. Lots of climbs and descents, several hail and thunderstorms, way too many biting bugs, and sleeping in trail shelters. The view and the accomplishment of getting here are good. If the weather holds, I may try to push on to Newfound Gap tonight.
did you hike at night?
