| sprosseda | My training mountain for out west Date Climbed: Jun 1, 1996 | |
| I have now to date (10/19/09) been to the top of Mt LeConte 81 times. This invovled over 1,129 miles and 289,700 feet vertical gain and descent. I have done most possible trail combinations, in all seasons and weather conditions, including 3 different kinds of 5,000 ft vert gain / 20 mile day hikes. This is one of my favorite southern mountains. I use it for training before going out west to climb bigger peaks. | |

| maddie77777 | Foggy, but a nice hike Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2009 | |
| I wasn't aware that you need to hike in the afternoon to wait for the smoke in the Smokies to burn off, so now I'll have to try this one again. Nice hike, though, and the lodges near the top are pretty nice. | |

| VermontMike | Quieter than Clingman's! Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2008 | |
| Alum Cave Trail is a gem of a hike in the Smokies . . . probably even better when the rhododendrons are blooming. Would love to stay at the lodge some time! | |

| Hotoven | Good for Kite Flying on Bluffs! Date Climbed: Mar 9, 2009 | |
| Alum Cave Bluff trail. Great hike to do. Had no view at top, but once we got on the bluffs, I broke out my kite and it flew to new heights! | |

| MarkDidier | Another Great Day at Myrtle Point Date Climbed: Apr 25, 2008 | |
| While the Chimney Tops may be my favorite place in the park, the Alum Cave Trail is my favorite hike in the park.The views on the way up to LeConte are just outstanding. It was a clear day with excellent views from Myrtle Point. | |

| hikinedd | No Water in the Fall Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2006 | |
| A bit late in signing the register, but better than never. Through the waterfall pitch and up under the giant granite wafer (okay, I see things in clouds, too). | |

| captainbuuda | The long approach Date Climbed: May 8, 2008 | |
| The last mountain on a 30 mile loop starting at the Chimney Tops trailhead. Incredible hike along the boulevard trail. This mountain is a true monarch in a land of majestic mountains. | |

| Sam Page | Long loop | |
| I climbed this sometime during spring 1999 (I think). I recall doing a roughly 17-mile loop in a day and feeling tired of hiking by the end of it. | |

| unclehud | overnight at the Lodge Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2007 | |
| Up and down the Alum Cave trail. The Lodge is a very romantic site for couples who enjoy backpacking and camping. Sunset was good; sunrise was cloudy, I mean "Smoky." | |

| Great hike with my later to be wife (two years later)...this was apart of showing her many of the joys of hiking. BEAUTIFUL sunset on the hike from the summit. | |

| friday | Well spent 36 hours Date Climbed: Jan 12, 2008 | |
| Arrived from Michigan at 3AM. Slept in car till 7:30AM. Left for summit right after using Rainbow Falls trail. Reached summit at 11:30. Descended at 12:30 via Bullhead Trail, reached car at 3:30PM. Arrived in Michigan 10 hours later. Great weekend. Weather was very clear, about 40'F or so at the summit. No snow, but traces of ice made the summit trails tricky. | |

| eric-griz | A fun hike! Date Climbed: Oct 21, 2006 | |
| What a beautiful day I had on my hike up LeConte with my wife on her birthday. I don't think I will ever go back to Great Smoky Mountains National Park on a fall weekend, however. | |
