Mt. LeConte

Great Smoky Mountains National Park
hike: Newfound Gap->AT->The Boulevard Trail->The Jump-Off Trail->Myrtle Point->Cliff Tops->Mt. Le Conte->Alum Cave trail. We set up a shuttle leaving a car at Newfound Gap, and a car at Alum Cave trailhead.
It was a 15 mile hike with high-temps in the mid 80's and lows near 38 degrees at the high-windy look-outs. 7 hours in the woods, with a big group of eleven. (7-11)

Great hike, it beat me down worse than Cherohala did last weekend.

Yes, I felt fine while hiking, with the exception of emerging blisters, which were thankfully averted by aid of mole skin. But I have continued to become more and more soar in the days after the hike. I can only hope to have my legs back by Wednesday for the weenie ride.
