Topo Map of LeConte...

4/9/2010

We just spoke to Henry, he said right now it is 23 degrees at the LeConte Lodge.  The high yesterday was 46 and the low was 23.  There are still patches of ice so crampons may be needed in some places. 

Alum Cave Bluff trail still looks good. 

We had a call this morning asking the Latitude and Longitude for the Lodge.  While looking up this information we found this TOPO Map of LeConte so we thought we would share. 

The Latitude is 35.6545 degrees North and Longitude is 83.4413 degrees West. 

Happy Hiking!

We hike up Sunday and back down Tuesday. We are hiking up Alum Cave and plan to hike out on the Boulevard. But don't want to leave our car at Newfound Gap if the Boulevard is not open. Any update on that trail and if hiking down Tuesday would be a good idea? Thanks.

Hi Allyson: I'm still sore from my visit ! Need some more "training hikes" ! Enjoyed meeting you and the crew this past weekend, too; I carried with me a copy of the portion of the topographic map shown above and wanted to find the USGS benchmark at Cliff Tops but didn't; my copy shows "West Point" just west of Cliff Tops, but I don't think there's a trail over to it, at least not that I know of; I may try to get back before July if Christi has any cancellations, otherwise, see you July 7th & 8th; have a good weekend ! D.

In my engineering work I'm always using topo maps, coordinates and such, and it's actually been a hobby of mine for many years; when you enter your coordinates given above into the search box on Google Earth, it "flys" right to the lodge ! I usually use deg/min/sec [35 39 16.2 & 83 26 28.7 for the lodge] Google's elevations are given in meters and when converted to feet place the coordinates nearer cabin 9 at the lodge, but when you center closer to the dining hall you get 1938m or 6,360 ft which is the elevation usually given for the lodge, but the sign above the dining hall entrance says 6,593 ft which is the peak itself. just some trivia.....I wish the resolution was sharper on google
