Whether this is your first time or your tenth, you’ll get tips to make the most of this iconic bucket-list hike. We start at the Alum Cave Trailhead, crossing the Little Pigeon River and following Alum Cave Creek through a peaceful forest before reaching landmarks like Arch Rock and Inspiration Point. I’ll show you the best spots for views, how to pace yourself for the climb, and where to use the hand cables on wet or narrow sections. The first 2.7 miles to Alum Cave Bluff make a great shorter hike, but continuing to the summit is well worth the effort. From the bluff, the trail steepens and climbs past rock walls and evergreen forests, with postcard-worthy Smoky Mountain views along the way. I’ll share how to break the hike into manageable sections and point out the exact spots to look for the summit marker, the spur to Cliff Top, and the short trail to Myrtle Point for 360° views. We’ll also visit the Mt LeConte Lodge — a hike-in-only lodge where overnight guests get meals, but day hikers can enjoy the gift shop, bathrooms, picnic tables, and water refill. I’ll give you info on how to book a stay, and how to enjoy it as a day visitor. This guide covers everything you need to hike Mt LeConte safely and confidently — parking, route breakdowns, mileage, elevation gain, gear tips, and the best viewpoints along the way. --- Disclaimer: Some of these links are affiliate links where I’ll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.
