This video does such an amazing job of showing the summer magic in the smokies, the mist, the flowers, the sheer amount of greenery its incredible. Visited the park many times in various times of year but to me nothing will beat this look on the smokies.
I was blown away by the lushness!! Thank you for sharing that! I was originally worried about summer crowds but I’m so glad I got to experience the Smokies like this! 🙌
Thanks for sharing your hike. Planning on doing this trail in a couple days and it sure seems like it will live up to my expectations after watching your video! Starting my SB6K quest and this will be my first one. ADK 46er here and looking forward to this new quest.
This is my favorite hike. Planning another accent to Leconte in early September. You made the hike look easy but it’s a hard but richly rewarding hike.
If you like to hike through a crowd along a steep and narrow cliffside, this is the Smoky trail for you. Not to mention the almost impossible task of finding a parking place at the trailhead. This is for sure a nice trail, but there are hundreds of miles of beautiful trails that you will have almost to yourself, especially on a weekday.
Thank you!! Without rewatching the video to check which stream I was swimming in 😅 I think it was the one that runs through Elkmont Campground! It’s where I slept the night before and after the hike!

Thank you! Wow, the SB6K will be quite the adventure! What a beautiful way to experience the Southern Appalachians! Safe travels!

That’s awesome, I bet it must be gorgeous in September! Definitely a challenging but rewarding hike!! Thanks for watching, Rick!
This makes me want to go hiking right now! Amazing video as always, James.
Appreciate it, Smith, thanks!
Just hit this one yesterday and slept at the backcountry site, got wrecked by a storm, still a 10/10 time on Leconte every time
Sounds epic! Overnighting out there would be a blast!

Very impressive! This is one brilliant upload! Sights never to be forgotten...awesome!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for such a terrific and detailed overview of the Mt Le Conte hike! Where is the river/stream that you jumped into?
