 Good Morning, It’s currently 27 degrees and partly cloudy. Yesterday’s high was 43 degrees, with an overnight low of 28. We received 0.9” of rain yesterday. It’s still gusty up top, but not nearly as windy as yesterday. -- The powerful winds from yesterday’s skirmish continued to gust as I approached Myrtle Point. The cooled temperature gave each puff a stinging bite. Looking out toward the rising sun, a sliver of vastness lay exposed. I let myself get excited. There would be a morning show, albeit a short one. I hope everyone has been enjoying the daily blog and photos! I also hope you all are getting excited for snow. It snowed 2” on my first day up top. I have a bundle of fun photos from that experience, and figured I would share one with you all!! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for more days like the one below. Until then… Cheers, Seth  “And then there is the most dangerous risk of all -- the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.”

Your pictures are beautiful; Mt LeConte is my favorite hike in the Smokies. You ever think about publishing a calendar of your photos? I’d order one for sure! 😊

Love your awe inspiring photos and poetic commentary. Confident your finger crossing expectations for winter days ahead will be realized sooner than you think. And you can offer up winter shots like the few on the LeConte home page. Looking forward to them. Stay warm, amigo.

You are taking such beautiful pictures. Thanks so much for those. Keep them coming. I'll be in Gatlinburg on the 18-23, from Florida. Hope it snows too.

Great pics Seth.. We check them out every day since we missed our hike up there last month. I forgot which day it was but there was about 3 inches of rain that day so we decided not to risk it. We’ll see you guys in April :)

Seth, I think I speak for all when I say we truly enjoy your words and pictures. Today's quote is so true. In many years of visiting the park,I always intended to day hike to the lodge but never did..Then I woke up one morning 9 years with cancer. I have been clear for 5 1/2 years but health won't allow me to simple things anymore. My advice to all is clear that bucket list and don't take tomorrow for granted.Keep up the good work Seth
