This was the second hardest hike I have done so far. First was the Grand Canyon South Kahbib trail. We hiked from the Alum Cave Trail to the Summit of Mount LeConte in about 3 and a half hours. It was super foggy and the lodge area looked so creepy, it was awesome! So our experience was a little different than the sunny day ones. The clouds were at eye level and the rain was coming right at you. The clouds would blow with the wind and whi around the buildings. We pushed further up to the very top called Cliff Tops and the scenery was sublime. this is a must-hike for those who want a challenge and to summit a mountain without too much climbing.

This was on my bucket list and I did it at 59. the views are spectacular. I went in early June , it wasn't really hot . took 6 hours to get to the top , with many many stops. Oh yeah it is steep is some places. we spent the night in the shelter. 8 bucks a person . I would not spend the money to stay in the lodge 200ish a night .It was much more fun to stay outside. It thunderstormed the whole night. Really cool. only 4 hours to get down.I felt very accomplished when I was done.

My 10 year old daughter and I (38) hiked to the summit of Mt Leconte via the Alum Caves trail head off of Newfound Gap Rd access. There's a fairly primitive restroom at the trailhead and parking is at a premium. If you don't get there early, you'll have to walk to the trailhead. The hike is beautiful. The 2.3 miles to the bluff through the "cave" which is an awesome staircase through an opening, is easy enough until the final half mile. We tested at the bluffs before pushing on to the Leconte Lodge area before finishing the 0.2 Mike's to the cliff overlook. Every step of the 10 mile round trip was worth it. We completed the hike in 5.5 hours.

This is the #1 thing to do at the Smoky mountains. We hiked the Alum cave trail via Mt. LeConte including cliff tops. The trail that leads to cliff tops is the can’t miss view of this trail. So don’t :) We went 4th March and hiked up in ~50°F right after highway 441 opened after a high wind warning. We were very fortunate to get a parking spot immediately after. Remember, starting March 1, 2023, vehicles require parking tags. The public restrooms on the trailhead were closed but the ones at Mt. LeConte lodge were still open. The entire trail is scenic and moist which limits the exertion. Hiking up to Myrtle point is also an option you could add on. This hike is just lengthy and a lot lot easier with hiking poles. The elevation gain is not too bad and it doesn’t need any expert skill to do

This felt like a tough 12-mile hike (via Alum Cave Trail) but was so worth it! We loved stopping at LeConte Lodge to eat and seeing the llamas. Breathtaking mountain views and an unforgettable hike!

This hike via the Alum Cave trail is rated "strenuous" and we'd agree with that. But we planned accordingly, took our time and enjoyed it very much. It's 5.5 miles to the top with most of it inclines & stairs but there are some stretches that are flat and allow you to catch your breath. The view from the top was gorgeous and well worth it. Unfortunately the day we were at the top around 1pm the biting gnats/flies were awful so we did not get to spend much time at the top. Once those bugs found you, their biting was relentless! We also stopped at the Mt LeConte lodge and walked around it a bit. They even offer lunches to buy; we brought our own and enjoyed lunch at the lodge with no biting bugs.

We did this hike as a family group of 12, 6 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 7 to 45. We did the hike all in one day. It took us about 3.5 hours to the top, and another almost 3 to get back down. We spent some time at the top checking out the llamas and the lodging area. The actual cave portion is about halfway up and many people walked up to that and back down.
We initially hiked up to Cliff Top and had lunch there. We then made out way to Myrtle Point. Both offered amazing views, at times demonstrating just why the Smokies are called the Smokies.
There are bathrooms (pit toilets) near the lodging, and a small gift shop.
In total we hiked about 12.5 miles and had lunch (that we had packed in and out) at the top and were on the mountain from approx 8:45 am until 5:00 pm.

Hiked from Alum Cave trail to the Leconte Lodge and Myrtle Point with my teenage son. Definitely the #1 thing to do in the Gatlinburg area. Total mileage including to Myrtle Point was 12.25. Many people turnaround at the lodge, but Myrtle Point is a MUST DO. We had Myrtle Point to ourselves for a good 15 minutes with 300 degree views from Clingmans Dome around to Pigeon Forge/Sevierville. On a clear day I'm sure you could see to I-40 and the high mountains in NC. Not an easy hike but anyone could do it if you're prepared and take your time. Arch Rock and Alum Cave are good rest stops to take a break. Get to the trailhead early. We came on a Saturday morning and parked by 7:15 with no problem, but could see it was filling fast. Make sure to stop at the Lodge gift shop for a "I hiked it" tee shirt.

Do not do this hike if you are not fully prepared to be beyond sore! It is very difficult to do in one day once you get up the mountain you basically want to stay up there and not come back down I'm 38 years old and in really good shape and I could barely walk by the time I got down the mountain I would suggest unless you are an avid hiker or you are ready to exert your body to the point of not being able to move for several days afterwards then only hike to the Midway point don't go all the way up that mountain if you do go all the way up you better have hiking boots on because tennis shoes ain't going to cut it and your feet are going to be severely damaged I do not regret it but I don't know if I would have done it if I would have known how strenuous it was.

Recently my son and I hiked Mt. LeConte via the Alum Cave Trail. I'm not going to say it was easy, but it was so worth it. The views were absolutely breathtaking! I will say that for me the descent was much harder than the climb so make sure you have good shoes. Go on a weekday and start early in the morning so you can take your time to enjoy this wonderful adventure!

Can I get parking near the trail if I arrive at 9am on a Saturday during peak season (October)? I know this is probably too late to get parking in the parking lots, but can I get parking on the side of the road within 1/4 mile of the trailhead if I arrive around 9am? Thank you

There is quite a bit of parking along the road for about 1/4 mile from the trailhead but that may require a lot of luck it showing up at that time on a Saturday. Arriving before 8 would be better. If you can’t, it might be better to show up later between 11-1 when people are finishing their morning hikes and moving on.

Hi, I was interested in hiking Alum trail up to Mt Leconte and Rainbow Trail back down. I do have someone to arrange the car at either location. Do you have any advice on this plan? I would welcome any feedback as I have never hiked this route before. Thanks

The last mile on the way up on Alum is the steepest. I have gone up Rainbow and down Bullhead (can use the same parking area).

How many areas along the hike from Alum to LeConte are dangerous and require chains?

There were several places where I used the cables, but some people did not use them at all. I am sure in wet or icy conditions, they would be needed more.

Staying at LeConte Lodge Oct. 20. Would love to do Trillium Gap Trail up and Alum Cave down. Does anyone know if it's possible to catch an Uber between the two parking lots? If so, should we do it Sat. morning (park in Alum Cave parking lot and take Uber to start of Trillium Gap Trail) or on the return Sun. afternoon (Uber from Alum Cave to Trillium Gap parking lot)?

uber response is limited , outside of gatlinburg or cherokee, nc you may have to reserve your pick up time and date
We have reservations at the lodge in a few days and it is saying 100% chance of thunderstorms. Any advice/information from people who have had experience with this? We have really been looking forward to this trip; however this forecast has definitely been disappointment and has us a little worried. Thank you!

While disappointing, I think the hikes and lodge reservations continue rain or shine. There was a chance of rain when we went, so we brought appropriate rain gear but lucked out. I wouldn't attempt to get up the mountain without hiking poles as it will definitely be slick in some places. You'll also need at least a rain jacket to get from your cabin to the dining hall, lodge, and bathrooms once you reach the top. Wrap your change of clothes, food, etc., in waterproof packaging inside your day pack. There is a heater inside each cabin with an apparatus that allows you to hang clothing and other items in front of it should they need to be dried.

My son, nephew, and myself are planning to hike Mt. Leconte next week via the Alum Cave trail. But we went to The tower at Clingman's Dome today and that half mile paved trail about kicked my butt. Now I'm thinking I'm not in good enough shape to make the summit at Leconte. How does the gradient compare with Clingman's?

The climb to Mount LeConte is strenuous . The hike up to Alum Cave is fairly easy but after the landmark the terrain becomes rough. You could try Rainbow Falls, Chimney Tops and Andrew’s Bald before hiking Mount LeConte but if you do... bring plenty of water, be very early at the trail head, and pace yourself. It is a long and rough hike but doable. We stayed at Mount LeConte Lodge so we hiked 61/2 h up and the very next day we descended in 2h. The trail was very slippery and icy in March .

Hi😊
We as a family planning for a trip to Smoky mountains. I have a toddler( 2 yrs)
Is it a place to take the toddler? If so Can we use strollers ?

Thanks in Advance

I will advise you not to take a toddler to Mount LeConte unless you are sling carrying the child. The trail is rough and you will not be able to use a stroller. There are other places like the Ripley Aquarium, the Dollywood parks and a lot of attractions suited for young kids in the Pigeon Forge area. You could go on a car drive to the Cades Coves Valley. It is a 13 miles car loop drive with tons of scenic views and plenty of wildlife sightings. There is also a picnic area called Metcalf Bottoms. If you really want to get a bearing of the area download the Chimani Great Smoky App and you could search places based on your interest. I hope that this will help you.

My family is hiking to the lodge to stay in July and are wondering what trails are best to take with kids? We would really like to go up one and down a different one.

I ascended Alum Cave Trail and descended Trillium Gap. Alum Cave is a wonderful trail, and I found Trillium Gap to be a lovely, but much more narrow and less utilized trail. If you have foot and ankle issues, avoid Trillium Gap due to many round rocks and exposed roots. It was quite painful for me, but I have major issues! I did love seeing the working llamas as they carried provisions to the lodge, and the waterfall at the end is beautiful. The Trillium trail is very lush.. Check the lodge website to see what days the llama travel. Right now, The Boulevard trail is the only other trail open, and I don't know anything about that trail. Bullhead and Rainbow Falls are both closed. Enjoy your trip!

Is the Alum Cave Trail appropriate for a woman in her mid-50's who is not in pristine shape? She enjoys this kind of thing and will try her hardest, but I have read many reviews about how strenuous it is, and I don't want it to be a waste! If we didn't make it to the top, will it still be worth it? Thank you!

Yes--you as long as you pace yourself and drink plenty of water you will be okay! The strenuous part about this trail is the elevation change, not so much based on how physically fit you are. The trail is a gradual continuation uphill but the air gets thinner and colder (bottom in January 60 degrees top was 23 degrees). If you enjoy hiking you will enjoy this trail even if you don't make it to the top.

Plan to visit at the end of June. Please recommend one trail around 10 miles with elevation of 3,000( Max 4,000) to hike in a day. Something with beautiful view . Will be at the park one day. With hotel closest to trailhead?

In June it is best to stay on top of the mountain, less heat and fewer bugs. Realize several trails are closed as a result of the fire, but as far as I know the below are open.
Scenic View and 10 miles try:
Mount Cammerer
The Jumpoff
Charlies's Bunion
LeConte via Alum Cave...go very early to try to beat the crowds
Shorter hikes with view:
Andrew's Bald
