Here we are at the start of our Hike.
The route we took to LeConte Lodge is from the Appalachian Trail. The trail is the longest at 8 miles.
Trails are well groomed and marked.
This day was National Trails Day and we met several volunteers on the Trail doing maintenance.
Terry and Allen getting the back packs adjusted for optimum comfort.
Looks like Allen is just stealing Terri's water.
Our first water and snack break.
This is the junction where we jump off the Appalachian Trail and head up to LeConte.
A nice Vista and a good place for a picture and a breather.
The trail gets steep and tough near the top.

Squirrels are quite friendly and will eat out of your hand.
