Chimney Tops, Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Facts and practical information

Chimney Tops is a mountain in the central Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. It is 4,724 feet above sea level. 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. ()
