Good Afternoon,
     The sun is working its magic on melting the snow away.  Patches of green are starting to reappear, but there's still plenty of crunchy white powder covering the mountain.  Temperatures rocketed up the thermometer throughout the day, as much as 25 degrees by lunchtime.  Despite the warmer temps today, the shady areas around camp and on trail are steadfast in holding on to their slick surfaces, so be sure and have those traction devices on the ready.  US 441 (Newfound Gap Road) reopened to traffic around lunchtime today.  Guests coming up for our final night will have access to Alum Cave and The Boulevard.

The LeConte Lodge Llamas 2017 Graduating Class

     The llama wranglers made their penultimate trip of the season today, their last haul coming on Closing Day this Wednesday.  Given that we have two rotations of packers, today marked this particular team's final trip of the season.  They'll be excited about getting set loose in the pastures for a few months this winter.  They've more than earned their time to rest up and eat heartily back at the cozy confines of the ranch.  We've said it before and we'll say it again, we're extremely grateful for the work put in by our wranglers and lovable llamas year after year.  It's no cakewalk, and they put in a tremendous effort to get the lodge its various supplies in a timely manner while also taking amazing care of our favorite famous animals.
​     We're also witnessing the culmination of greatness with a loaded graduating class of fine llamas.  Clifford, who's been packing as long as Alan has been wrangling, led his team up the mountain for the final time today.  He's joined by Flash, already enjoying the spoils of retirement, and eventually Chester, who will saddle up for the last time Wednesday.  These three load-luggers have been reliable in their service.  They're also considered members of the family when you get to know them through the years, as our wranglers will surely tell you.  Way to go, guys!  Some of these closing cups of hot chocolate will certainly be raised in your honor.
Picture
     Tomorrow is our final full day for business this season.  The weather should be splendid leading up to the holiday.  If you're still waiting to get any of the 2017 "I Hiked It" merchandise, Tuesday will be your last opportunity.  The same can be said for the hot chocolate, sack lunches, and delicious assortment of cookies.  Come Wednesday morning, everything will get boarded up, and there won't be anything for sale or open buildings to warm up in until mid-March.
     Have a great start to the week.
Picture

8:45 AM Update:
Good Morning,
     We're working our way out of the frigid cold.  The skies are clear and the sun is making its ascent.  Our low temperature last night eventually bottomed out at 12 degrees, but this morning is already warmer than yesterday ever got as we're currently pushing our way through the mid-20's.  We should finally see some some snow melt today, so trail conditions will shift from slick or crunchy to all-out slushy.  Continue to use caution as you reach the upper elevations.  US 441 (Newfound Gap Road) is still closed this morning, but conditions will certainly turn favorable for the NPS road crews in their efforts to clear it.  Guests are once again encouraged to use Rainbow Falls and Trillium Gap Trails today for visiting the mountain.

More winter magic on Mt. LeConte.
Good Afternoon,
     Well, after a delicious gut-busting feast, it's a little harder to find the motivation to move around camp.  We've topped off at 2" of snow, and despite being teased by patches of blue sky, the peak just can't quite seem to shake the cloud cover.  The temperature has stabilized at 21 degrees for much of the day.  Places where hikers have packed down the snow are sure to be hazardous.  Other places where the snow remains untouched are able to provide better traction at this point.  Trekking poles and traction devices are still advised.
Picture
What an amazingly appetizing spread!
     Our cooks absolutely spoiled us with a mighty and savory feast.  Taste bud conflicts ensued with wanting second opinions of the main course, or saving room for desserts.  One thing is for sure, nobody walked away hungry or dissatisfied.  After cleanup, an impromptu snowball battle sprang up behind the kitchen, marked by constant laughter and eventually soaking wet crew members.  All the makings of a fabulous, fun-filled day on the mountain.
Picture
Picture
     US 441 (Newfound Gap Road) is still temporarily closed.  Visitors have been able to successfully scale the mountain via Rainbow Falls and Trillium Gap Trails today.  Guests are being asked to utilize these two trails for the time being as their access roads remain open.  Remember that these trails are 1.7 miles longer than Alum Cave, and require more of an elevation gain, so you'll want to account for that in your timetable, especially since hiking in snow and ice takes a little more effort as well.
​     Have a great rest of the afternoon.

8:30 AM Update:
Picture
Good Morning,
     We went to bed in a spring-like rain and woke up to a pristine winter wonderland on this delightful Sunday before Thanksgiving.  Temperatures dropped fast after midnight and the precipitation made the jump from rain to ice to snow.  Skies are trying to open up, and the snow has subsided, but not before covering the mountain top with 2" of fresh powder.  Rain and snow melt combined for 0.9" making for an icy layer underneath.  Traction devices will be crucial for making the climb today, especially as foot steps pack down the accumulation and make it incredibly slick.  Yesterday's high temperature came in at 45, and then it dropped all the way to 19 degrees for breakfast.  Winds are not as strong as they were on Saturday, but the occasional gust can chill you to the core without the proper layering.
Picture
     US 441 (Newfound Gap Road) remains closed at this time and will likely stay that way today, as upper elevation temperatures are not expected to surpass the freezing mark.  Cherokee Orchard and Roaring Fork are still open, so guests are being asked to utilized the Rainbow Falls or Trillium Gap Trails at this time.  If you come across downed trees, please notify the lodge staff and/or the NPS so that we can work swiftly to get trails cleared.  Thank you and be safe out there!

6:30 PM Update:
     ATTENTION: US 441 (Newfound Gap Road) is temporarily closed on account of the high winds and incoming inclement weather. Guests with reservations can still access the lodge from Cherokee Orchard and Roaring Fork at this time. The latest information can be reached through the NPS at 865-436-1200 x631.

2:30 PM Update:
Good Afternoon,
     The clouds have settled onto the mountain and the winds continue to pick up steam.  There have been intermittent drops of rain, but no persistent showers at this point.  The temperatures continue to hang out in the lower 40's, but the wind and cloud moisture are keeping visitors cold and damp.  Warm layers and protective waterproof shells are essential in these conditions.  The sun is setting before 5:30 PM these days, so as we progress through the winter it's important to remember not to get caught out late.  There have been no road closures at this time.
​     Have a great day.

9:00 AM Update:
Picture
Good Morning,
     The mountain top is rockin' and rollin'!  We're in the early stages of a wind advisory that extends through early tomorrow morning.  Skies are partly cloudy, but the wind and veiled sun will keep the unseasonably mild temperatures at bay.  Gusts around camp have been between 20 and 30 mph so far this morning.  Yesterday's high temperature came in an otherwise toasty 51 degrees, while our low from the previous morning was 28.  It was already 39 degrees at breakfast today as the warming trend should continue until the front roars through.
​     With that said, we are expecting a rapid shift from rain to snow later this evening as the turbulent weather kicks in to gear.  Temperatures will plummet early Sunday, and even as skies clear, it will be a chilly day on the mountain for sure.  We'll do our best to keep you posted in regards to road and trail conditions to help you prepare for an ascent, particularly our overnight guests.
Picture
     While we aren't keeping our eye on the changing weather, we're excitedly preparing for our annual crew Mountain Thanksgiving feast.  Some casseroles and desserts have already been concocted by our talented cooks.  No amount of wind, rain, or snow will keep this hungry bunch from chowing down on a magnificently fulfilling buffet tomorrow.  We'll of course provide you with the final results of a fabulous spread, but here's at least a taste of what's coming.  If you haven't gotten into the Thanksgiving spirit just yet, perhaps this will be the inspiration you need to start salivating over turkey and pie.
     Have a great start to the weekend, and if you're out on the trail, please be safe!

Good Morning,
     We're all waking up to clear skies, and temperatures are expected to be fairly mild for this time of year.  Today be should gloriously sunny, and Saturday should start that way before souring later on.  Rain is expected much later in the day, and could possibly transition over to snow and ice here in the upper elevations.  Temps on Sunday should then drop significantly, even as skies clear.  We'll try and keep everyone up to speed as things change.  Yesterday's high temperature was tallied at 40 degrees, and our overnight low dipped to 27.  It can feel nice in the mid-day sun, but expect a chill in the shade.
Picture
     The NPS trail crew performed some maintenance work on cables along Alum Cave Trail yesterday, which is important once paths get coated in snow and ice.  It's good to have one more option for hand holds, especially if you lack traction devices or trekking poles during your climb.  We're honored to work alongside so many amazing people representing GSMNP.  The maintenance crews for park roads/trails, medical personnel, law enforcement, dispatch, interpretive rangers, volunteers, and those in the administrative offices are all doing wonderful things at different times of the year to ensure our visitors' needs are met.  Those needs range from keeping trails safe and accessible (for people and llamas), responding promptly to hikers in distress,  maintaining a natural wilderness appearance by cleaning up trash around the shelter and trails, and working in harmony with the lodge to promote a environmentally responsible and hospitable backcountry lodging experience for our visitors.  And there are many more.  So a big thanks to our friends and colleagues wearing the green and gray here in the Smokies!
​     Have a great start to the weekend.

Good Morning,
     We're off to a chilly and windy start this Thursday, with the thermometer showing 29 degrees but feeling much colder outside in the elements.  Despite starting the day out in a fog, the intermittent puffs of gray and white are gradually thinning out, giving way to sunny skies.  Last night's passing showers didn't amount to much in the rain gauge, but enough fell to create some slick places around camp and on trail.  Please use caution, particularly on the exposed log water bars, as they tend to freeze up first without appearing so.  Yesterday's high temperature registered at 48 degrees, with a low of 28.
     Let's wrap up our recollection of the year in pictures with this third and final installment.  Enjoy some of the sights and stories from the months of August through November.

2017 Season in Pictures - Part III

Picture
As July passes into August, summer scenery around Mt. LeConte shifts into high gear. The mountain is enveloped in mesmerizing magic, and various trails sport rare and intricate wildflowers like the Grass of Parnassus.
Picture
In a historic first, fans of our favorite fuzzy friends help with the naming of one of our newest packing llama recruits. After 1,000+ responses, the name Wiley is selected among so many fantastic submissions. The wranglers will look to train Wiley spring of 2018.
Picture
The All-American Total Solar Eclipse phenomenon strikes the Smokies and surrounding region by storm in late August. The above photo, taken just to the south of Mt. LeConte in the Nantahala National Forest, shows totality while here at the lodge a partial occurs.
Picture
Hurricane Irma, after ripping through the Caribbean and state of Florida, eventually sets its sights on the Smokies, invoking road, trail, and even backcountry closures for several days. The decision was a wise one, as the upper reaches of Mt. LeConte's most popular trail were bashed and beaten, with mature Red Spruces being tossed like toothpicks and the earth getting stretched like putty.
Picture
September on Mt. LeConte still presents the appeal of summer, as the lodge experiences warm to moderate temperatures and mountainsides still don their lush greenery. The potential for thunderstorms remains, and on occasion impressive electrical storms can be seen in the distance.
Picture
Autumn on Mt. LeConte rolls into action from late September into early October, with Mountain Ash and Beech trees offering up shades of gold. The colorful show cascades down the mountainside in the following weeks giving hikers a grand spectacle during their ascents.
Picture
Conditions on Mt. LeConte remained moderate through much of summer and into autumn, as temperatures were consistently in the 60's during the day, and 40's at night. A decent balance of rain and sun also kept the earth happy, without sacrificing opportunities for visitors to enjoy the views from the top.
Picture
With a great deal of anticipation, the first snow of autumn finally arrived on October 29th. Even at just a few inches of accumulation, it was enough to cause road and trail closures. Crew member, Allison Mayes, won bragging rights for the year as winner of the annual first snowfall prediction.
Picture
Another great tradition at LeConte Lodge, the crew puts their carving creativity on display for visitors to enjoy over Halloween. Overnight guests vote on a favorite, with Heather Barker's design of a llama taking the 2017 crown.
Picture
This year's fall color display extended later into November than the average season, giving Smokies' visitors this time of year an awesome treat. By that time, the season is winding down, while crew and guests alike excitedly await the coming of winter and the holiday season.

Good Morning,
     It was just another blue bell kind of day atop Mt LeConte.  Once again the skies were calm and clear, the sun stretching its rays across the mountain from its point in the southern sky.  Temperatures were a little milder yesterday, as our high came in at 46 degrees.  Our low dipped down to 20.  Once that sun drops behind the horizon, it doesn't take long for it get chilly this time of year.  We're under partly cloudy skies currently.
     Without further ado, we resume this year's photo-graphical review.  Enjoy some memories from the months of May through July on the mountain.

2017 Season in Pictures - Part II

Picture
The month of May came in like a lion. The first week saw heavy rains and powerful winds, with gusts near 90 mph rocketing over the mountain and blasting the tree line along the crest.
Picture
As if the winds and rain weren't enough, on May 6th the mountain received a late season snowfall. The picturesque landscape under a blanket of 7" of powder drew a great deal of attention in the news and across social media.
Picture
Henry tends to clearing the grand staircase after the early May snowfall. For a couple days roadways into the park were closed to visitors as the NPS crews worked frenetically to clear them of snow, ice, and debris.
Picture
Just as the last snowfall of the spring began to melt away, work was beginning on Rainbow Falls Trail. As part of the next Trails Forever project in the Smokies, Rainbow Falls will be seeing maintenance work done across two years, the lower half due to wrap this week. Work on the upper half will resume next May.
Picture
2017 will definitely go down in the history books as the year of the Red Squirrel on Mt. LeConte. The "Boomers," as they are popularly known, seemed to be everywhere in camp this season, their boisterous chattering and knack for mischief a daily occurrence. As cute as they are, please remember not to feed them, as it only encourages bad habits!
Picture
Mid-May is when the mountain comes to life, as the green wave of vegetation makes its ascent up all Smokies' slopes. The Mountain Myrtle is this peak's first real piece of eye-candy that signals the start of spring.
Picture
May came in like a lion and left like a snail, but not after proving to be the most turbulent month in terms of weather. Temperatures ranged from 71 to 20 degrees, rainfall totaled nearly 9.5" falling on 17 of 31 days, winds were as high 90 mph, and greenery quickly replaced 7" of snow. You never quite know what to expect during the spring in the Smokies. With all of that moisture, the snails were just as numerous as the squirrels!
Picture
With June's arrival, it finally meant it was warm enough to tackle some of the outdoor projects. We flew up a great deal of construction materials in March, as many visitors have noticed strategically placed around camp. The buildings up here have stood the test of time and weather, but it's important to give them a little TLC every once in a while. Special thanks to the team from Crowder Construction.
Picture
With an appreciated balance of sun and rain this year, one can really witness the results in the vegetation. The Frasier Firs continue to show remarkable resiliency after the Balsam Woolly Adelgid massacred their mature population so many years ago. Mt. LeConte is one of those unique "islands in the sky" where such trees can be found here in the south.
Picture
July saw our highest temperature reading of the year, as we surpassed 75 degrees late in the month. It's also the time of year when summer really makes its presence known on the mountain. Buildings are interwoven with dense and diverse vegetation that offers a kaleidoscope of colors.
Picture
Sunsets from Cliff Tops provide that cherry-on-top moment for our overnight guests, weather pending of course. Whereas the winter months offer the clearest visibility, the summer months create the most dynamic evening solar spectacles, courtesy of the waning rays mixing with the layers of the atmosphere.
     Next up, the end of summer gives way to a mild autumn as we march toward the culmination of the 2017 season.  Have a great afternoon.

Greetings,
     The clouds that were covering the valley all of Monday finally broke free last night, so it looks like everyone in East Tennessee, regardless of elevation, will get to partake of the wonderful sunshine today.  Temperatures dropped sharply last night to 25 degrees before returning to the freezing mark by breakfast.  Our high yesterday was 40.  We're expecting repetitive conditions the next few days, so it should make for some great hiking weather.  Come on up and see us if you can!

2017 Season in Pictures - Part I

     With the season winding down and the lodge a week away from serving its last overnight guests, we'll go back through the calendar and relive some of the pictorial highlights from 2017.  Enjoy a look back at months January through April!

Less than ideal flying conditions and 7" of snow delay the annual airlift resupply, and inevitably Opening Day for the season. The scenery, nevertheless, is breathtaking.
Picture
For several days in mid-March, the crew battled with snow and wind to keep paths clear. Even when we couldn't fly, there's always plenty of work to be done in the preseason. Head Cook, Heather Barker, doing her best imitation of a Popsicle while out shoveling. Photo courtesy of Tim Line.
Picture
Winter finally decided to show up in mid-March at the absolute wrong time. Snow accumulations for the system topped out at 7", but the real story were the frigid temperatures. On a couple occasions Mt. LeConte dropped below 0 degrees, it's lowest reading coming in at -3.2 one night. Preventing pipes from freezing became a top priority.
Picture
Airlift operations for the 2017 season conclude on March 23rd, and after a brief delay, the lodge opens for business on March 24th. Kudos to the amazing skills of the folks at Construction Helicopters in bringing us our annual supplies.
Picture
Weathering and thousands upon thousands of footsteps took their toll on the Dining Hall steps. Once the airlift was complete, work promptly began on replacing the old stone work.
Picture
After three days of some intense labor, the grand staircase was shiny and new. Each individual block weighing about 435 pounds apiece. The new steps have been a topic of discussion among visitors all season, and rightfully so. The work done was nothing short of masterful.
Picture
The first week of April slammed Mt. LeConte with another 8" of snow and chilly temperatures. By that point, the llamas were already into their routine. Still blanketed by their winter wool coats, they were troopers and continued to do their jobs well alongside our fantastic wranglers.
Picture
April 30th was the mountain's first day to tap 70 degrees for the year. The end of the month also saw our yearly rain total reach 26", in four months already accounting for half of 2016's total liquid precipitation.
     We'll revisit the arrival of spring and enter the heat of summer in the next installment.  Have a great day.

Enjoying some sun from the porch of East Lodge.
Good Afternoon,
     We began the day cloaked in gray, but as the morning progressed the clouds gradually gave up their grasp of the mountain.  It has been a delightfully sunny afternoon since, overlooking the sea of white blanketing the East Tennessee Valley below.  Yesterday's high temperature was recorded at 38 degrees, followed by a low of 31.  There were brief showers during the night, but even as temps tip-toed around the freezing mark, it never gave way to flurries.  All of the sprinkles and mists only amounted for 0.05" of rain, and the sun is working its magic to dry things out.
Picture
Stone steps beneath the bare Mountain Ash lead to Cabin Row and blue skies.
     You can really tell it's November on the mountain.  The air is cool and clear.  Camp is calm and quiet.  There is increasing talk of turkey.  The days are growing short, and the cozy appeal of candlelit cabins gives the undeniable sense that winter is coming.  Guests will surely be clinging to those comfortable Hudson Bay blankets and satisfyingly steamy cups of hot chocolate these remaining days of the season.  We're excited about showing the last run of guests a grand time before boarding the place up for its next winter slumber.
     Until then, have a great start to the week and thanks for stopping by.

It's November, so lean back and kick up your boots, absorbing the mountain's soothing silence.

Good Afternoon,
     We've been sitting in a cloud since well before daybreak, and that forecast seems like it should stick the rest of the day.  The overcast is also producing an ever-so-slight mist that is wetting all of the exposed surfaces, so a waterproof shell will actually do some good.  Yesterday's high temperature was 46 degrees, and our low ended down at 30.  We've been hovering at 37 for the past several hours.  The cloudiness and slight chance of showers will linger through tomorrow morning before supposedly clearing off Monday afternoon.  We'll see what comes of it, but the weather looks like it'll be throwing varying conditions at us these final ten days of the season.
Picture
     On our penultimate Sunday of the season, I'd like to give a special shout-out to our outstanding chaplain this year, Chad Long.  Most years, some of the local ministries are able to provide chaplains for the Smokies, which includes campgrounds as well as our lodge.  He is a realtor by trade, but takes the time out of his weekend and away from his family to provide services for guests and crew here on the mountain.  More often than not, that's meant getting up very early to lead groups out to Myrtle Point for sunrise, sometimes under blustery or chilly conditions.  He's also been a tremendous help to the crew whenever present, and is an even better person.  If you've been guests of ours on Saturday nights at all this year, perhaps you've had the pleasure of meeting Chad and attending one of his services the following morning.  Thanks, Chad, for being a great member of the team and helping to provide a positive experience for our guests!
​     Have a great conclusion to the weekend.

VETERANS DAY

Picture
"Old Glory" flying high above Tennessee!
Good Morning,
     It's shaping up to be a gorgeous Veterans Day on Mt. LeConte.  The crew would like thank all the brave men and women who have served in our nation's military through the ages.  We so greatly appreciate your dedication and sacrifice.  Temperatures are already in the upper 30's and the sun is shining bright over High Top.  Yesterday's high temp came in at 46 degrees, and our low of 24 was from the previous morning, as we never dropped below 30 last night.  There is still potential for some lingering icy patches in those shadiest of places on the trails, so keep an eye out during your trek.  Sunday is calling for a slight chance of showers.
Picture
Veteran, Henry Neel, who recently celebrated his 70th birthday on Mt. LeConte. Atta boy, Hank!
     On this Veterans Day, we'd like to salute and thank our very own Henry Neel, who served proudly in our nation's armed forces, retiring as Sergeant First Class several years ago after a tour in Iraq.  Not only has he been on the lodge crew for quite some time now, but he's also been a winter caretaker for us, his most recent stint of snowy solitude coming after his last tour of duty.  We also have some outstanding team members who assist with our preseason Airlift operations that have served.  So a salute to the likes of Dave MacKenzie and Tom Sabo for their service to our country and doing great things for the lodge.
     Have a great weekend.
