Mount LeConte

After a fun day at Dollywood, Michael and the kids dropped me off in Pigeon Forge with Paula and Colleen (2 friends from work) to stay until Tuesday. On Monday we woke up early and started our adventurous hike to the top of Mt. LeConte. It was about a 12 mile walk round trip, with beautiful views the whole way. It took us 3 hours and 21 minutes to reach to top where we spent a little over 2 hours enjoying the scenery and the whole day was 8hr and 28 minutes. I have never done anything like this before and was a little nervous to be stepping out of my comfort zone, but I surprised myself and made it! My calves are still reminding me that I might of overdone it but it was a great day!! The weather was beautiful and we were in the shade for most of the trail. We were surprised that we didn't see any wildlife during our hike, we saw one red squirrel and a big fly and that was it! The trail wasn't crowded but there was enough people on it to make you feel comfortable knowing people were around. We got to see the Llama's bringing the supplies up to the cabin and that was so cool! This hike is something I will never forget and I am so thankful for friends that believed in me enough to invite me along!! Here is a slide show of our hike.
