Alum Cave Trail to Mount LeConte

Hike #2 - Alum Cave Trail - 10 strenuous miles (although we figured it was really 11 miles round-trip according to the signs we passed) - 18 bridges crossed and 168 people passed - It's a popular trail!

Making our way through Arch Rock

Beautiful views along the way

The best-dressed hikers color-coordinate their shoelaces and hairbands!

Alum Cave really isn't a cave but a bluff

Almost there!

We weren't expecting to see "civilization" at the top of the mountain!

We made it!!

Resting at the bluff on the way down

and taking a picture looking the other way.

Still smiling!
