  • /::'-....; ' - A HIKE IN ANY DIRECTION REWARDS THE CLIMBER WITH BEAUTIFUL AND VARYING SCENERY Then sunset viewed from its topmost peaks provides a scene quite different but almost as beautiful as that of the sunrise above the clouds. Campers find any number of desirable spots where they may pitch their tents. Water is available from springs and streams, one, crystal-clear and almost ice-cold, bursting out near the very top of LeConte. Campfires and blankets are needed, however, to keep one comfortable at night, even in midsummer. A cabin, with blankets and cooking utensils for rent is available on the top of LeConte. Strangers may secure the services of a guide, horses, supplies, and usually the company of those who are familiar with the trails. The starting point may be reached by way of the Scenic Loop, from Knoxville, going the Sevierville and Gatlinburg route, or through Maryville, Townsend and Elkmont. From the North Carolina side the approach is made either through Knoxville, or by way of New- j/,*3tv *mj port. Sevierville and Gatlin burg. Good roads from all these points enable the visitor to reach the foot of the mountain AT THE CABTN ON TOP OF MOUNT LeCONTE by aUtOmODlIe.
