If ever there was a classic hike in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Alum Cave Trail to Mount LeConte would certainly qualify. Sure, there are trails in the Smokies that are far longer, that gain more elevation, or have steeper climbs, but the Alum Cave Trail is unmatched in its combination of interesting geological features, history, high adventure and stunning views.
To reach the 6593-foot summit of Mount LeConte, you’ll have to climb 2763 feet and hike 5.5 miles from the Alum Cave Trailhead.
Hiking via Alum Cave Bluff Trail up to Cliff Tops and Mt Leconte. Awsome hike with a great reward. The best view from any trail I have been on. I recommend hiking up rainbow falls trail to leconte/clifftops and return down alum cave bluff to an awaiting vehicle or vice-versa.
