This event is truly the complete package! An experienced guide will educate participants about the natural and local history along the Alum Cave Trail to Mt. LeConte. Hikers will have lunch trailside (provided), and relax in the evening with an ATBI program. In addition, a ranger will provide a program for us at the clifftops summit. Afterwards we will enjoy dinner and a night's stay at the LeConte Lodge. After a great night’s sleep we’ll have breakfast the next morning, and a trail lunch (if requested) for the hike home.
