 Rockin' at the break of dawn... Good morning! It's another beautiful October day at the lodge! Yesterday's high was only 51 and the overnight low was 27...cold and clear all day! Today looks about the same, clear blue skies and 46 degrees. It has been very busy up top and I am so glad that so many people are getting out to experience this glorious weather!

Oh wow....absolutely beautiful. I would love to visit there but there's no way I would make the hike. Thank you for sharing your pictures.

My girlfriends and I are headed up there next week! Can't wait!!
My family would like to thank all of the folks at the lodge for another great overnight stay this past Friday night. Great food and experience! The work done thus far on Alum Cace trail is looking great.

One of my favorite places too. It's a great place to sit in the morning with a cup of coffee and watch the sun brighten the horizon.

Beautiful!! My son and I are headed up on the 28th.We can't wait. I saw where the Roaring Fork Bridge was closed and there is no access to the Trillium Gap parking lot. What would be the closet parking lot to the Trillium Gap trail. We had planned on taking that trail up and the Bullhead trail down. I am not very familiar with the area.Thanks for posting the pictures.

Brian-the closest parking lot is the Rainbow Falls/Bullhead parking lot. You will have to walk 1.7 miles to the Trillium Gap trailhead one way. You could go up Rainbow Falls and back down Bullhead and be right there in the parking lot.

The Rainbow Falls parking lot would be the closest. It will add roughly 2 miles to your hike. When you come down Bullhead you will have about .4 mile back to the Rainbow Falls parking lot.

Brian, park at the Rainbow Falls parking area. It's 2.3 miles to the Trillium Gap Trail from there, If you are planning on descending Bulkhead, the distance is the same.

Your best option would be Rainbow Falls parking area. Then take the connector trail over to Trillium. Check GSMNP web site for updates on closures. Good hiking.

I am planning on hiking up Trillium on 11-2 for the night. Can't find any info as mentioned earlier on the Roaring Fork Bridge and the Trillium parking lot being closed. Is it still closed? Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
