In this video, we hike the chimney tops trail in early fall with many of the leaves beginning to change color. But the best part was the ending, where we climbed to the top of the mountain. Very close and similar to free solo rock climbing. Extremely dangerous.

Later we camped at the nearby Smokemont Campground which is a great campsite within the smokies!

Chimney Tops is a mountain in the central Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. It is 4,724 feet (1,440 m) above sea level.[3] Chimney Tops is a double-capstone knob on the eastern slope of the Sugarland Mountain massif, which stretches north-south across the north-central section of the Smokies. Mount Le Conte resides east of Chimney Tops and Mt. Mingus southeast of Chimney Tops. Thus, while the view from the summit is 360 degrees, Chimney Tops is practically "walled in" on three sides.
Geology
Chimney Tops is one of the few instances of a bare rock summit in the Smokies.[4] The rock atop the mountain has been exposed to natural weathering. The bedrock is mostly Anakeesta Formation metamorphic rock, especially slate, phyllite, and metasiltstone.[5] It was formed 200 million years ago when the North American and African plates collided during the Appalachian orogeny.[6]
