  Ahhhh, the sunshine is finally coming out. Hopefully the warm spell will help thaw things out around here. The mountain was full of activity yesterday. The 22 degrees did not keep day hikers from making the 5 mile trek up the mountain. Highway 441 opened just in time to give access to Alum Cave trail. The park service is currently working on getting Highway 441 opened this morning. You can call 865-436-1200 to find out road conditions. The road leading to Bullhead, Rainbow, and Trillium are all open. Due to the low of 12 last night, there will be plenty of ice on the trail. If you decide to hike up, please make sure you have ice walkers and good warm clothing.

miss LeConte so much. Last start up the Mountain was two years ago 2 mnths before I had a hip replaced but had to turn back after Alum Cave. Still needing back surgury but plan to hike up to Leconte next season, early in the year. My wife and I have been up there many times and thanks so much for this site and the pictures.We have own a home in Gatlinburg (we live in N. Ky) for 18 years so we love our mountains!
