From the guidebook, we read:
"The Chimney Tops (R), ragged twin peaks, are visible..." [on right] (Page 341)
"Right from this point on an extremely steep trail that leads to CHIMNEY TOPS (4,740 alt.), from which is a view of the valley of the Sugarlands and the peaks on the divide." (Page 342) -Tennessee: A Guide to the State, 1939
Chimney Top is seen along Highway US-441 heading south out of Gatlinburg. There is a two mile strenuous hiking trail to its summit - although the last section involves a free climb up a steep face of slate rock. Reward is some great views below of the forested park.
