Mt. LeConte is located in America's most popular national park (Great Smoky Mountains National Park). At an elevation of 6642' it is only 291' lower in elevation than Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak in the east. There are five trails that lead to the summit (seen above).
The shortest trail is the Alum Cave Trail, named after the cave above.

At the top of Mt. LeConte is a lodge with several small heated cabins. The lodge is accessible only by trail (5 miles being the shortest).
A bear apparently tried to get into one of the buildings the night before we were there.
