About
<<< Mt LeConte from Alum Cave Trailhead >>> We will meet and start from the Alum Cave trailhead right in front of the rest rooms in the parking lot . This is an out and back round trip hiking. This is the most popular hike in the park, and its parking is very limited. In most cases you will have to walk about one mile from your parking on the street to our meeting and starting place. This trail is well known to be the most popular hiking route in GSMNP. It goes through various geological formations and landscapes offering excellent views along our way to the summit of Mt. LeConte standing at 6,593 feet of elevation. We will enjoy our snacks and plenty of mountain views at either LeConte Lodge or Cliff Tops depending on the weather conditions. The event duration does NOT include our travelling/ driving time. Our duration time is an estimate, and we need to have some flexibility. <<< Important Notes >>> Please only register if you are comfortable going long distance at a pace averaging 2.3 mph in the remote mountains environment, and have solid D5 experience. A good reference is you can comfortably finish a Kennesaw 10 hike in less than 4.5 hours. If your experience is not from the club, please include it in a note when you register, or email TL; otherwise you'll be moved to waiting list for the safety of everyone. We encourage our members to actively participate with joyful experience, and most importantly to stay healthy and safe at the end of our event. Parking fee $5 is required in the park. It can be purchased online or at the visitor center. We cannot use the National Park pass for parking.
