The morning started off beautiful and sunny. That did not last for long. These rather ominous looking clouds rolled in and that seemed to be the story for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Summer has arrived the same way spring left, wind and rain. I will say, you don't have to worry about losing your power when you heavy rains on top. We are well prepared with plenty of kerosene and lamps.

You have to be the luckiest person in the world.I have been to LeConte numerous times.My favorite memory is with a now deceased friend the winter of 94 I believe.Three of us were the only people to have backcountry passes. We parked at the cherokee orchard loop ranger station and walked to the shelter at Leconte.When we hit the lodge there was at least 2.5 foot of snow at the lodge.We snuck in the caretakers cabin to warm up by his oil heater. He was quite surprised to find the three of us there when he came in from the kitchen.That place is holy,cherish every moment there. Comments are closed.
