Trail leading up and thru a hole in the rock
View from the trail side on the way up to the summit.
Mount LeConte hike via the Alum Cave Trail is truly spectacular. Well maintained, hikeable in winter, classic Smoky Mountain views, with a bonus visit to the remote LeConte lodge. My favorite!

It's always a great time up at the #Townsend entrance to #GSMNP I can't wait to go next time 🇺🇲 (gonna dress in layers again, and get some warmer gloves! I hate being cold, I moved south to get away from cold weather lol) @altnps.bsky.social @nashvilleresist.bsky.social @indivisibleknox.bsky.social
Protester wearing a bear mask and two signs, one sign says, "honk some love for our parks" and the other sign says, "this land was made for you and me"
Protesters are visible on both sides of the road just outside the Townsend GSMNP entrance.
Protesters are visible across the street and on the same side of the road as the Townsend entrance sign to GSMNP. Most of the leaves are off the trees as it is very late fall. It is also raining, the road is wet and there appear to be shallow puddles along the road. The temperature outside was in the low 40s, cold enough people wore layers and were definitely braving cold, wet weather.
Two protesters visible in the background across the street from one protester who is smiling, wearing a wet rain coat with the hood up, and a pair of glasses. He's holding a white sign with mostly black letters except for the word "no" which is written in red. The sign reads, "no East Wing "renovations" to our parks"
22 patriots braved the rain and cold weather in #Townsend today at the entrance to #GSMNP to say #HandsOff our parks! This land is our land, come join us next time we exercise our #FirstAmendment rights to #ProtectOurParks @nashvilleresist.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social @6news.bsky.social
In pools of dark water 'neath overhanging trees, shadows play among beams of light while life below and above goes by. I sip the flavors found in surreal scene, tasting possibilities of what has come and that which lies ahead @mdanielsmith.bsky.social #Photography #GSMNP #EastCoastKin #Thanksgiving

A mountain stream is a small, flowing body of freshwater that originates from melting snow or rain in the mountains. These streams are essential for providing water to ecosystems downstream. #Nature #Landscape #Landscapephotography #SmokyMountains #GSMNP
