CLIFFTOPS
A tradition at the top of Mt. LeConte is watching the sunset at Cliff Tops; a magnificent show of color created by the filtering blue-gray haze that give the Smoky Mountains their name.
The first thing you'll probably notice is the "hush" that seems to envelop you, the pure freshness of the air and the immensity of the sky.
Even if the summit is shrouded in clouds, it's a special treat because you are enfolded in an indescribable softness and quiet that makes you feel you have discovered a special secret place.
