There are many scenic vistas in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, but none other provides so much beauty as Mount Leconte. Mt. Leconte is the third highest peak in the park towering at 6,593 ft. We will be hiking up Alum Cave Trail; which is the shortest but the steepest of the five trails that lead to the top of Mt. Leconte. Total elevation gain is 2763 ft.
