The First Snow of the Season has Fallen on Mt. LeConte in Great Smoky Mountain National Park

It’s only October, but the snow is coming down in a few places already, including Mt. LeConte in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. 

As one of the tallest mountains in the Eastern United States, the staff at LeConte Lodge stated that the snow fell on October 15, 2023. 

Temperatures dropped to 29 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday night. And after a day of heavy precipitation, the rain turned into snow.

Mt. LeConte is the third largest mountain in Great Smoky Mountain National Park and offers some incredible outdoors adventures. If you visit you can hike the 11-mile round trip trail, explore caves, and traverse the sides of mountains to take in the amazing view from the summit.
