Is that clingmans dome in the background? I remember going there on a family vacation when i was a child. It's the highest point in the smokey mountains and you can view 7 states from the peak.
I think Mt. Mitchell is highest point but Clingmans is almost as high and because it’s basically on the TN border you can see all the states (Mitchell is NE of Asheville - Clingmans might actually be the highest observation point that you can get to without being a mountain climber). Chimney Rock is SE of Asheville and has a couple of mountains much closer to it, probably one of those in the photo.
