The second highest point east of the Mississippi is Mount Craig in North Carolina at 6,647ft. There is some controversy due to the 4ft difference in the measurements of the two mountains. The elevation of Mount Craig was last verified in 1993 by satellite; however, Clingman's Dome (located on the NC-TN border) was last measured in 1920 using the conventional method. The designation dispute cannot truly be resolved until Clingman's Dome is remeasured.

The title for second highest peak East of the Mississippi River goes to Clingman's Dome (6643 ft ASL), on the TN side of the NC/TN border in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park It is the highest peak inside the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.

Actually, North Carolina's Mount Craig is 4 feet taller, at 6,647 feet.

Elvis Presley's boyhood home is more a tourist site.
