Good Afternoon,
     Conditions on the mountain continue to be favorable, as rain chances over the next several days have all been downplayed, with only Friday showing the best opportunity for storms in the PM.  Skies are pleasant, the air is calm, and the temperatures feel fabulous, which is making the outdoor projects go a lot smoother.  We managed to tag 66 degrees again, and our overnight low dipped down to 41. We're back in the comfortable 60's again today, and there's a decent crowd of hikers enjoying the mountain.  Our current streak of sans precipitation continues.
     Autumn is almost here, and it certainly has everyone excited.  Getting hard to believe there's only nine more weeks of serving guests this season.  We've had the pleasure of hosting so many fabulous folks.  It continues to be a joy and privilege to reconnect with so many friendly faces visiting the mountain, while also introducing newcomers to the magic of Mt. LeConte.  We'll start booking up cabins for the 2018 season very soon on Monday, October 2nd.

     As always, you can visit our online store to check out the latest in LeConte Lodge swag.  These are mostly items you won't find up top in our souvenir shop; thus, no "I Hiked It" memorabilia, but plenty of great logo apparel and gift-ware pieces.  Getting a jump on the holiday shopping is never a bad idea, especially if that special someone you're thinking of loves tallying up miles on Tennessee's famous mountain!
​     Have a great rest of the afternoon.
