We hiked the mountain in early May. I was surprised it snowed. Up to half a foot fell, but that’s not normal. In July it was balmy and felt nice, so we hiked all day.

I was wondering what the conditions are on AT from Newfound gap to Clingmans dome. I plan to hike it Sunday.

Laurel,
From the parking lot at Newfound Gap to the base of the tower on Clingman's Dome is 7.8 miles. I can't tell you about the possibility of snow. I'm in Mississippi. I was up there a few months ago and from what I could see, there's no way to get up there other than drive or walk. And, as you said, the road is closed.... Good Luck....

Trying to hike up to Clingman's dome Fri around noon. I know the road is closed but how much snow is on the way up? How far is it from parking lot? Trying to estimate ability to get to the top on Fri. Are there options like snowmobile ride up etc...? Will be hiking Le Conte Sat but love Clingman and don't want to be so close and miss it. Any suggestions welcome.
