“When I was in high school, a bunch of us used to go after school to swim in the river at Greenbrier in the national park. We would get
inner tubes from old truck tires, blow them up, and float down the river. Everyone needs to try it!”

“I’ve always liked hiking up to the lodge at Mount LeConte,
staying overnight, and watching the sunrises and sunsets.”

Alum Cave Trail
“Alum Cave Bluff is ... [an] overhang (not a true cave) [that] was once mined for several minerals, including alum, Epsom salt, and saltpeter. ... (The hike to Alum Cave Bluff and back is five miles. ...; the trail continues past the bluffs to Mount Le Conte.). ... On the way to the bluff...you’ll get to hike through Arch Rock, a large natural arch made of slate, on a stairway fashioned out of the stone.” [From “Frosty Fun in the Smokies,” January/February 2013]
