Mount Chapman

Mount Chapman is a high, remote peak in the Great Smoky Mountains on the Tennessee–North Carolina border, rising 6,427 feet and ranking among the Appalachians’ ten highest mountains when subpeaks are excluded. The mountain has a double peak, dense spruce-fir forest on its summit, and little direct human impact because of its isolation. The Appalachian Trail crosses its eastern slope and passes close to the top, though the summit itself requires a short bushwhack. It is named for Colonel David C. Chapman, whose leadership in the late 1920s and 1930s helped secure land and funding for Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
