Trail Overview
Explore the Smokey Dome area, take in the views, and camp! Take the easy drive up to Couch Summit from the Couch Summit Parking area and continue the climb up and up to the tip tops of the Smokey Domes. Expect rougher and less maintained roads after turning off the main road at Couch Summit. There are usually washboards, slight ruts, and loose rocks/exposed rocks, though nothing too major. It's a very popular hunting area in the fall so plan accordingly if you adventure here from September through October. There are plenty of amazing spots to pull over for a break, lunch, or even to set up camp. Make sure to bring your best camera as there are views around every turn! There's very little light pollution so star gazing or nighttime photography is perfect for this area.
