#76444: The Lakes of the Crossing from Clinch Mountain

From high atop Clinch Mountain, one can see south across the forested, winding shorelines of Cherokee Lake to the misty Great Smoky Mountains in the distance, a long, serene view of a broad valley with extensive lakes stretching in all directions. This was the route and landscape through which passed the East Tennessee Crossing — the Warriors Path, the Wilderness Road, and the Dixie Highway.
