Mt LeConte Shelter Hike, Feb 2003

Dave Ridge, Gerry Williamson, Ernie Brown, and friends try for a 3-day, 2-night hike on a section of the Appalachian trail each winter. In 2003, we planned to hike the section of the Appalachian Trail from Newfound Gap to Icewater Spring shelter, and then take the Boulevard to Mt LeConte shelter. However, the road to Newfound Gap was closed due to inclement weather, so we instead took the Rainbow Falls Trail up Mt Leconte, returning via Bullhead Trail. The Lord watched over us through the provision of that closed road, as we would have been hiking the Boulevard in miserable and difficult conditions.
