Mount Sequoyah

[5] While it's doubtful that Sequoyah ever visited the mountain, numerous Cherokee villages dotted the base of the southeastern Smokies when European settlers arrived in the early 18th century.

[6] Arnold Guyot crossed Mount Sequoyah on his survey of the Smokies crest in the late 1850s.

[7] The mountain rarely saw a human presence until a segment of the Appalachian Trail was constructed across its summit in 1935.

Following the Appalachian Trail from Newfound Gap, Mount Sequoyah is 13.1 miles (21.1 km) to the east.

From the Cosby Campground, Sequoyah can be reached by following the Snake Den Ridge Trail 5.3 miles (8.5 km) to its junction with the Appalachian Trail, and then following the latter 3.7 miles (6.0 km) to Tricorner Knob, crossing Old Black and Mount Guyot along the way.
