I took a long needed break today to check out the first big snow on Mt. LeConte, which is located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Eastern Tennessee. It was an incredible 10 mile round-trip hike via Alum Cave trail.
Mt. LeConte Lodge is about 6,360 ft elevation with the LeConte Peak is 6,593.
A few weeks before departing for a on-location shoot in Miami. I learned about a wonderful foundation (Woodstock Foundation) that was putting on a fundraising event just north of Miami. So I contacted the Event Chairman, Richard Jankus to volunteer my services & time to support this great event. I truly enjoy giving back & each year I find myself donating my services & time to wonderful causes & organizations such as this one. The “Fashionista” was held this past Friday at the Players Club in Wellington, Florida. The event offered supporters a red carpet experience, cocktail party, multi-course dinner & the “Fashionista” fashion show.
Mt. LeConte located in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park has always been my favorite point to hike to for the past thirty (30) plus years. So when my daughter who was born a natural runner starting taking up hiking with me at the age of four (4). I knew our short term goal would be for her to top Mt. LeConte [third highest peak in the area at 6,593 ft] without assistance. The only hard part about getting someone her age to do… keep her from trying to skip her way to the top. I failed.
