Lodge (near the top) where we are to spend the night. The first mile of the trail is smooth and easy. The remainder, while distinct and plainly marked, is extremely rough and steep. First we pass through a forest of giant trees—oaks, tulip poplars, hemlocks, chestnuts, maples, basswoods, buckeyes, etc. Under these we will see masses of mountain laurel, rhododendron, flame azalea and many other flowering shrubs, as well as countless smaller wild- flowers for which these mountains are famed. What more could a nature lover want than a trip up Mt. LeConte in June? The second mile of our trail follows along the bank of LeConte Creek and brings us to Rainbow Falls, where this turbulent little stream makes a plunge of 83 feet. This, the half-way point of the trail, is a good place to rest (again) . Shortly after leaving "the Falls" we notice that there are fewer deciduous—and more coniferous- trees. Gradually, and perhaps a bit breathlessly, we begin to enter the spruce and balsam zone. Here, in Sunny Tennessee, we have a touch of New England and Southern Canada. After crossing, and recrossing, the creek many times we finally leave it near the third "mile post" and start a bit of the steepest climbing we are to have, but it is not quite so rough here. Then we reach the "sign" and our trail turns to the left and follows a more gentle grade along the side of the mountain to LeConte Lodge. If we arrive in time, we will go out to Main Top to enjoy the sunset. We will then have supper at the "open- air kitchen" and prepare for a good night's rest in the balsam-bough beds. We must retire early, for the best part of any trip to Mt. LeConte is to arise early and go out to Myrtle Point for a gorgeous sunrise (weather permitting)'. While Mt. LeConte, elevation 6,593 feet, lacks a few feet of being as high above sea level as Mt. Guyot, Clingman's Dome or Mt. Mitchell (the latter not in the Smokies) , none of these are so high above their immediate bases as is Mt. LeConte. From Mt. LeConte we can look down upon Gatlinburg—only five miles away by airline—- and a mile and 21 feet lower than the summit of LeConte' Mt. Mitchell has a range of elevation of only 3,884 feet 32
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

In 1926, the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club began to print an annual handbook that outlined scheduled hikes for each month of the year, including winter. This 1931 handbook was collected by George Masa (1881-1933), a photographer active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Enjoying the spectacular views, the group returned to establish a formal hiking club to sponsor regularly-scheduled hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains.
