LeConte Lodge September 2026

Brief Trip Description ($429/person):
Tuesday and Wednesday nights in the LeConte Lodge. Breakfast is served at 8:00am ET and dinner is served at 6:00pm. Sack Lunches are available for $14, or bring your own food for lunch on Wednesday.

September 1st (Tuesday):
Meet at the Rainbow Falls trailhead at 11 am CST (12pm EST) and climb up to the lodge via the Rainbow Falls Trail. Dinner is at 6pm, and we can try to catch sunset from Clifftop afterward. Sunset should be at approximately 8pm this time of year.

September 2nd (Wednesday):
Weather permitting, we could try to see sunrise from Myrtle Point. Sunrise should be shortly after 7am. It will take about 20 minutes to walk over there.

After breakfast, we can go on a day hike. We can decide where to as a group, or we can split up. Charlies Bunion is about a 14 mile round trip. Or we could go north to Brushy Mountain along the Trillium Gap Trail.

The llamas will probably be climbing up the Trillium Gap trail on this day, so we might see them on the way there, or at the lodge.

We can catch sunset from Clifftop again today.

September 3rd (Thursday):
We'll have a second chance to catch the sunrise today. After breakfast we will pack our things and hike back down the mountain via the Bullhead Trail.
