In 1792, James Smith wrote of ascending Cumberland Mountain as the sun gilded the high mountains, with the rising sun appearing in full glory as mists dispersed and clouds hastened away, and he identified the scene as the famous Cumberland Gap. Travelers have enjoyed the views from this mountain peak for hundreds of years, and Skyland Highway first opened to sightseers in 1929.
