Sep 20, 2016 | |||
Notes: In my opinion the best way to the top of LeConte. Least rocky trail saves the feet. More gradual than Rainbow or Bullhead. Up in 3h10m Down in 2h23m | |||

Notes: 1 of very few trails I'd like to hike again. New trail work is making it nice. Good views above the bluffs. Was dark for last 2 miles but easy to hike | |||

Sep 17, 2016 | |||
Notes: Last 1.5 mile of trail is interesting. Myrtle Point is worth the effort. From AT to mile 4 was not particularly interesting to me. | |||

Notes: 4 or 5 fallen trees, easily navigated. Steep but not too bad. Nice trail to introduce someone to "remote" hiking in Smokies. |
