Tennessee Summits

Tennessee Summits will guide readers to the very best hikes to vistas, overlooks, and lookouts situated on summits across the state. Readers will enjoy curated trails selected for their breathtaking views from the top.

Tennessee may not have 13ers or 14ers like Colorado, but their beloved vistas are wildly spectacular. The elevation of the summits featured in this guide may range from over 3,000 feet to more than 6,000 feet, highlighting a variety of stunning views from different elevations and surroundings. Hikes will range from easy to more difficult routes, and the summits featured will range from rocky overlooks and vistas to summits with lookout towers that enhance the views from the top. From the 360-degree views offered by Clingmans Dome, the highest point in Tennessee and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, to Mount Leconte and Chimney Tops, to the Kettlefoot Lookouts Tower atop Doe Mountain, this guide features some of the best vantage points and views Tennessee has to offer.

All of the information from our core hiking series – key specs, maps, color photos, detailed hike descriptions, and miles and directions – will provide readers with all they need to know to plan and do these hikes to the best views from summits in Tennessee.
