The Loop-Over, seen here from Chimney Tops, is one of the most unique features on the thrilling Tennessee sides of the Newfound Gap Highway. Here the road makes one complete circle instead of four sharp extremely dangerous curves that were on the old road at this point. Mt. LeConte is seen in the background of this picture. The small peak with the wisp of cloud is sometimes called "West Point" and the next broader peak is "Cliff-Top." The next ones in order are "High-Top", the highest point and "Myrtle Point", the grandstand of the Smokies.
