    Thanks for showing us what the hike looks like. Was the hike down as bad as the hike going up? Congratulations on reaching the summit.

      Hi guys!! It was Worse going down because of the strain on the knees ...whew!!! I had cramps in both legs too but I'm proud of myself for doing this! I still don't know how I did this 100 lbs heavier too lol

    Alum Cave is truly a beauty! However, it is the easiest of the 6 routes to Mt LeConte, making it also the most crowded. Looks like you hit it at a good, less crowded time!

    Nice hike! Clingmans Dome is the highest point in the Smoky's with amazing views on a clear day. However, Mount LeConte is a lot better, and cooler hike for sure! And the Alum Cave route is the best IMO.

    Mount LeConte is the third highest summit in the Smokies at 6,593 feet. Number 1 is Clingman’s Dome at 6,643 (also the highest on the entire AT) and Mount Guyot at 6,621. But LeConte is the most visually impressive, being separate from the main Appalachian ridge line.
