Welcome to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
MOUNT LECONTE, GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK
Mt. LeConte is situated about 4 miles north of the main Great Smoky Mountain range. The third highest peak in the National Park at 6,593 feet above sea level, it stands a full mile above Gatlinburg, Tennessee (left). As seen from the west along the Little River Road, Mt. LeConte has the steepest and tallest slope in the eastern United States. One stream from Mt. Leconte, the Roaring Fork, falls a full mile in elevation along its four mile length!

And yes, the black bear population is alive and well on the mountain! The shadowed peaks of Mt. LeConte were featured for a U.S. postage stamp issued to commemorate the Great Smoky Mountains in the 1934 National Parks Series. KEEP WATCH!......
