Kuwohi

Kuwohi is a super-duper tall mountain that stands like a giant in the Great Smoky Mountains. It's so high, it's the very top of the whole national park! Think of it like the tallest slide on the playground, but way, way bigger. It's also the highest point in the whole state of Tennessee. That means if you were standing on top, you'd be looking down on everything for miles and miles around!

Kuwohi is 6,643 feet tall. That's like stacking 100 school buses on top of each other! It's also the highest spot along a super long walking trail called the Appalachian Trail. This trail is so long, it's longer than driving from New York City to Los Angeles and back! So, Kuwohi is a really important stop for hikers.

This amazing mountain has a special name, Kuwohi, which comes from the Cherokee people. But it also used to be called Clingmans Dome. It's like having a secret nickname! The Cherokee people have lived in these mountains for a very, very long time, and their name for the mountain is very special.

Being the highest point means Kuwohi gets to see amazing views. On a clear day, you can see for miles and miles! It's also a special home for plants and animals that like it cool and high up. This mountain is like a crown jewel for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, making it a place everyone wants to visit.
