Bote Mountain is a mountain in Great Smoky Mountains National Park of Tennessee, in the United States. Bote Mountain is located in the Great Smoky Mountains, which began forming in the late Carboniferous and through the early Triassic, approximately 310 to 245 million years ago. The oldest rocks of the Great Smoky Mountains, however, date from the Neoproterozoic, approximately 800 million years ago. Those rocks are sedimentary rocks, and were deposited on an ancient ocean floor on the edge of a supercontinent.
