Mt. LeConte in the Fall
As autumn descends upon the Great Smoky Mountains, Mt. LeConte transforms into a breathtaking tapestry of color. The vibrant greens of summer give way to fiery reds, oranges, and yellows as the forest prepares for winter. Hiking trails become immersive tunnels of fall foliage, with crisp leaves crunching underfoot.
