Description
Before dawn, the skies cleared of the night's fog and revealed a most gloriously pretty sunrise. Captured along the Boulevard Trail at the top of the mountain, our hiking group of 10 left Newfound Gap the morning before, taking the Appalachian Trail to climb up to this beautiful vantage point. The camp has many cabins for rental for the overnight stay, but make sure to get your reservations in very early in the year as it books up fast!

High atop Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, LeConte Lodge� is the highest guest lodge in the eastern United States. It is situated on an open glade just below the summit of Mt. LeConte at an elevation of about 6400 feet. The Lodge serves as a grandstand for the entire Park and commands spectacular views of the Smokies.
It is accessible only by hiking and is the only place in the Smoky Mountains where a visitor can sleep overnight in a snug permanent structure. There are no roads that lead to the Lodge. There are five hiking trails that lead to the Lodge ranging in length from 5.5 miles up to 8 miles.
