For Derrick's birthday, we took a hike up Mt. Leconte, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

There are 5 trails that lead to the summit of Mt. Leconte. They are:

Appalachian Trail to Boulevard Trail
Alum Cave Trail
Rainbow Falls Trail
Bullhead Trail
Trillium Gap Trail

On this hike, we ascended on the Alum Cave trail, and descended on the Trillium Gap trail. We encountered some beautiful scenery on the way up, and at the top. We also visited Grotto Falls on the way down.

At the top, we visited both vantage points from Mt. Leconte...Cliff Tops and Myrtle Point. Stay tuned for our experience, and what we thought of the trails.
