Clingman's Dome - National Parks of the World on Waymarking.com

Clingman's Dome is reached from Newfound Gap on a spur road 7 miles long. From the parking lot a steep trail leads to a tower with a spectacular 360 degree view. Here are a few questions to find answers to once you get there. First: why are there so many dead trees here? Second: What two languages are the main informational markers written in?
Third: What three versions of the creation story are highlighted on one of the markers?
Four: What activity here has caused serious injury and should be avoided? (Look for nearby benchmark)

Visit Instructions:

A log will require a recent photograph at the coordinates. Some of these locations will be placed for the scenery, so a gpsr will just ruin the picture.

If you don't have a digital camera post a descriptive log.
