The Chimney Tops

Walker Camp Prong (U.S. 441), Gatlinburg, TN , USA

Tennessee State
Historical Marker

These twin summits of quartzite and hard slate are familiar landmarks. The peak on the right has a hole like a flue. Mountain people thought these formations looked like chimneys rising above the trees. Mountain laurel, rhododendron, blueberry, and sand-myrtle - members of the heath family - cling to the peaks.
