- However, at the LPI there's a series of Apollo 16 photographs for a certain "Smoky MOUNTAIN" (do they know only one Smoky mountain at the LPI?).- DannyCaes Mar 21, 2012

Description
Together with Stone Mountain south of Apollo 16's landing site these so-called "mountains" are just hill-like elevations.
Not very impressive appearances on Apollo 16's Hasselblad photographs!
Sort of anticlimax, especially when these so-called "mountains" are compared with the steep Mount Hadley and Hadley Delta of Apollo 15, or North Massif and South Massif of Apollo 17. - DannyCaes Nov 26, 2016

Additional Information
The Landing Site Name "Smoky Mountains" is also plotted on Topophotomap 78D2/S1 .
Nomenclature
Astronaut-named feature, Apollo 16 site.
An error is detected by Danny Caes on one of Apollo 16's original LEVA-traverse maps. The name STONE MOUNTAIN (near the map's upper right corner) is an error. This should be SMOKY MOUNTAINS.
