Sunset Views from Cliff Top on Mt LeConte

Hiking in the Smokies

Here are some pictures of a recent hike to the top of Mt LeConte. Enjoy the sunset! The summit views with the sunset are from Cliff Top, one of the four peaks of Mt. LeConte – some would say the very best views of the Smoky Mountains are from Cliff Top.

The hike up was along the Boulevard Trail, a great favorite among Smoky Mountain hiking trails, and the longest and most arduous of the Mt. LeConte trails. The trail is about 8 miles long one way, and gains and loses elevation continually as it dips and rises through rolling terrain (with some tricky places along rock sides).

Somehow the views of the Smoky Mountains match the rolling nature of this Mt. LeConte hike – wave upon wave. See what you think.

About Tony Perez

I'm a people person, and I enjoy the atmosphere that working with Cabins Of The Smoky Mountains entails, interacting with different types of people and trying to relate to each one uniquely. From Michigan originally, I've been coming to the Smoky Mountains since I was a child, with family in Wears Valley. Summer fun for me is exploring the Cades Cove area, swimming in the creeks, and hiking Mount LeConte and many other trails. I love the Smoky Mountains.
