| Hike Summary: | A fairly easy to moderate trail that actually proceeds all the way to the LeConte Lodge at the summit. After 2.8 miles you are rewarded with the beautiful Rainbow Falls. I lucked up when I hiked to the falls, it had been snowing the night before and was still snowing on the mountain. It was the most beautiful hike I've ever been on. |
