After cleaning up our dessert Thomas really wanted to see Clingmons Dome again. We were pretty sure that we were not going to make it to see much of the day light but we thought it would be a good way to end the night.
We were able to get to the trailhead just as the sun was going down. It was a little cloudy but it was fun to see the sun go down. Since we had done this "hike" last year we knew what to expect. This is paved all the way up to look out tower so with our head lamps we really didn't have any worries.
Being higher up in the park it was pretty chilly so we were glad we were glad that we had our jackets on. Thomas was really excited to get to the top of the tower. This is is favorite place in the park. Since we were really the only ones up on the tower we had the place to ourselves which was nice : )
It was a fun perspective to see the out from the tower at night. It was a pretty clear night and we were able to see the lights of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. One of these cities were setting off fireworks that we were able to see in the distance as well so we were able to see a little firework show.
It didn't take too long to get back to the truck and on our way back we were able to see a salamander and a couple of toads as well. It was a fun ending to our day!
