Hike to the third highest peak in the Smokies.

"To reach Mt. LeConte you'll be following the Trillium Gap Trail for most of your hike. The lower portions of the trail meander through an old-growth hemlock forest. If you hike the trail during May you'll have the added benefit of witnessing a smorgasbord of wildflowers through this section. Look for trillium, white violets, stitchwort, squawcorn and Dutchman's breeches.
