[@melindagoldstein4871]

Gorgeous! The scenery looked like a painting. Truly majestic.

[@joebinienda5283]

In my opinion, there is nothing in nature more beautiful than a light snow on the hills, mountains, and trees. Thank you for getting me out of Florida and back to Massachusetts.

Thank You for filming this. It's so beautiful!

[@WilliamLDavis-tm1ct]

Beautifully done, Eric. The music you pick to go along with your videos is always so fitting. PBS would be jealous!

[@rockybosarge]

Thank you for sharing. My wife and I were there in October for our birthdays. We are 8 days apart. We love the area and that is why we have been there 37 times. I have been there 43 times and it never gets old. We were at New Found Cap and the snow was waste deep a few years ago. We love snow, a roaring fire in our fireplace, and spice cider. Life is good.

Eric, looks like a Christmas Winter wonderland! Really enjoyed your video. At the 1:58 mark that would be a beautiful picture postcard. Absolutely beautiful and stunning especially with the sunset! It's 45 degrees here right now and I'm freezing just watching your video. Looking forward to your next video.❤️

[@dennisjackson6693]

teresa said beautiful and she cant wait to get back over there

[@nicholascrowder740]

I will always call it Clingman's Dome and never the new name!!

[@marjoriemartin5982]

Just love it. Where is this?

[@pattio3435]

Beyond awesome! Certainly does affect our sense of spiritual. Thank you so very much! Any updates on traveling to the Park? We coming up from Florida? How is I -40 in case New Found Gap closed? I would really appreciate ideas????

[@Debra.Justice]

Are you coming up I-75? I-40 is open through Knoxville. It’s closed at the TN/NC state line because of Hurricane Helene. The east bound lanes collapsed into the river. The roads through Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg are open. I think the Christmas decorations are up in Gatlinburg. Have a safe trip and hope you enjoy. I’m fortunate enough to live close to the Smokies and feel very blessed.

[@pattio3435]

@ we come up on the east side of the Mts ….I-75 but then east of Atlanta ..thru Clayton 23/441 to Cherokee. Sad all the destruction cause by Helene.

[@earlp6731]

So why was the name changed? Was Clingman cancelled now?

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Kuwohi was the original Cherokee name of Clingmans Dome. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians petitioned to have the name restored.

[@peggyely4356]

Do they close the roads and trailheads if you get to much snow in the higher elevations.

[@Debra.Justice]

Yes. I’ve been there when park rangers were stopping traffic and advising people to turn around.

[@jcsantin1825]

Is this from today???? I’m in Kingsport

[@evinrude1236]

Description says Oct. 16.....so this was several weeks ago.......

[@RogerMccall-c8x]

It doesn't snow much thert

[@JohnMoore-xf5wy]

They renamed Clingman's Dome?😮 Sacrilege!😡

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Back to the original Cherokee name.

[@JohnMoore-xf5wy]

@SmokyMountainFamily Eastern Bunch or Western bunch? Can't erase American history, although many are still trying. Clingman's Dome. Ft Bragg. Fort Benning. Etc.

[@Debra.Justice]

@@JohnMoore-xf5wyEastern band. That land belonged to the Cherokees. European settlers ran roughshod over the Native Americans.

[@derekk6906]

⁠The Cherokee have been in the Great Smoky Mountains for over 10,000 years. In fairness much of their history was erased, then they were forced to walk all the way way to Oklahoma because their home was being taken from them….. Awful

[@JohnMoore-xf5wy]

@derekk6906 I have known that story for decades, also. Only fools believe they can erase history by changing its names.
