Tennessee's highest point

I got to Clingman's Dome just as the sun was setting, and started up the wide asphalt path to the futuristic summit tower. It was fairly steep, albeit quite short: just .5 mile and 300' of gain. I got there maybe 15 minutes too late for a good sunset, and the clouds weren't correctly aligned in any case. It was still a nice sunset from the top of TN. To earn it a bit more, I wanted to jog down the path, but an elderly lady's scooter had broken down, so I and a couple other people helped her down. One guy drove up the asphalt path partway, making that a bit easier. After helping her into the car, I was able to get my run in. It was worth it, because she called me an angel. That's something the rest of you should keep in mind.
