Mount Le Conte, Mountain summit in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, United States
Mount Le Conte rises to 6,593 feet with four distinct subpeaks: West Point, High Top, Cliff Tops, and Myrtle Point, forming a massive mountain structure.
The mountain's name origin remains debated between geologist Joseph Le Conte and his brother John, who assisted in transporting measurement equipment during early explorations.
LeConte Lodge, established in 1925, maintains traditional accommodations with propane heat and kerosene lanterns, serving family-style meals to visiting guests.
Five hiking trails lead to the summit, ranging from 5 to 9.1 miles in length, with Alum Cave Trail offering the shortest route at 5 miles.
The mountain exhibits the highest relief east of the Rocky Mountains, rising 5,301 feet from its base near Gatlinburg to the summit.
