 GOOD MORNING!
The temperature is sub-zero on Mt LeConte this morning—minus 2 degrees, to be exact! Clear and COLD! The Park is still closed this morning. Visitor Centers May open later in the day, but roads are still closed. Yesterday’s morning temperature at the lodge was 25 degrees—this morning the temperature is -2 degrees! I didn’t see any hikers yesterday. I went up to Cliff Tops yesterday afternoon to observe the sunset. It was a strange feeling—being REALLY alone. Breaking trail thru 10 inches of snow! There was no wind at Cliff Tops—only silence. The clouds were more fascinating than the sunset. There was an inversion and the sun and I were above a fascinating layer of clouds. Difficult to describe—almost a religious moment! I wish that you could have been there to experience it with me! HAPPY TRAILS!! WILDCAT/Bert

Noticed you were talking about the park being closed, but also surprised that you didn’t see any hikers. I usually take the rainbow falls trail, but is there another road or trail that is open that allows access to Le Conte right now? Thanks and love reading the blog.
