Beautiful hike (we did the moderately strenuous via Alum Cave up and the moderately easy Trillium Gap down) and the views are amazing. The hike round trip was nearly 12 miles, so it's not appropriate for someone looking for an easy stroll. Stayed at LeConte lodge and loved the experience, but the food was horrible. Not a deal breaker, but... more

Well, this was the second time that i had been to LeConte, and it was by far the best! Unreal views, nice lodge at the top. Allow a good eight hours to hike and to view the park. Bring water, and start early! more
