Greetings valley dwellers! It's been a beautiful, clear sunny day today. Our Columbus Day weekend was BUSY. We're glad that crazy wind and rain from Saturday didn't stay! Chilly weather is bringing all the wildlife back to the mountain, including a bear sighting today AND a bobcat sighting yesterday. The current temperature is 54 and the low from last night was 30! Happy hiking! Love, Turnip the mountain ash is still hanging on!

Your headline sounds like the setup for another "animals walk into a bar" joke.

We were up yesterday and I brought a first timer who left a Mt. LeConte lover. She now wants to make it a yearly trip and stay overnight next year. 😊

Great picture! I suspect the bobcat is making an appearance in preparation for teasing JP when he returns as winter caretaker.

We made our 4th trip up yesterday and the journey was amazing! All the brilliant colors and great weather made for a great hike. In addition, it was our daughter's first trip up the the mountain. We weren't able to stay long on top due to time restraints however the time spent was fantastic! On the way down our daughter had asked several times when we were coming back; most likely soon. We have always had a great visit. Sometime we'll spend the night.
".......the brisk exercise (e.g. hiking) imparts elasticity to the muscles, fresh and healthy blood circulates through the brain, the mind works well, the eye is clear, the step is firm, and the day's exertion always makes the evening's repose thoroughly enjoyable."
