What a Welcoming Sight

"How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains." - John Muir
It is hard to not have a smile on your face when you walk outside and see this view. The sunrise was awe-inspiring this morning. We have been lucky the past few days. We have only had a sprinkle or two of rain. Yesterday looked like it was going to rain the whole day, but we never saw a drop. I am super excited to see what today brings. I have a feeling it is going to be a spectacular day on the mountain. Time to soak up some rays and discover again how magnificent this mountain is.

We're set to hike up on Wednesday. Hopefully no rain during our hike, but we tend to be unlucky, lol. How bad would it have to be for us to abort?

Good morning all-I haven't been on in a while, but have kept up with the posts every week and miss Mt LeConte terribly. Don't put off going up it because you never know when you will get back. I will be hiking Mt Haleakala from now on at least for a while as my wife and I have moved to Maui, HI. All of this came up very quickly revolving around a job opportunity combined with the opportunity for the BIG ADVENTURE. So here we are, and I can't wait to hike the trails over here. Hi to all the regulars here, and I hate that I won't get to meet you for a while. Keep hiking that beautiful Mtn.
Allyson-You know I miss my no bake cookies that I always get from you, and you and Chris have been so very kind to me. What island are you all doing your winter hiking adventures on?
JP-I saw your post the other day that you confirmed you were coming back this winter, BRAVO! I will miss seeing you, as I can tell you for the first winter hiking for me last year it was a great comfort to me knowing you were up there and you gave me great hiking advice as well. We are all so lucky to have you.
Nathan-Happy Birthday, and thanks for always greeting me with a smile and welcoming me to the lodge.
Tony GA-Doug Y-Brian N Bama-Ryan La----You guys keep up the great posts and the hiking of the mountain. We will be back sometime.
Have a great day all!

We day hiked up today, and the weather was perfect. It was 61 degrees at the trail head of Alum cave, dry and crisp. On days like this you get an excited "I won the lottery" feeling as you climb. Every view, stunning. Up on top, the small group at Cliff Tops was giddy, every direction crystal clear. Almost exactly seven months earlier I had the same luck, 12/30/12, it was clear, dry with a coating of fresh powder snow on everything. Last July I was rewarded after the climb with rain and a view of 10 feet, so you really appreciate the great days!
