Some patchy clouds over the summit made for an interesting sunrise to start this Wednesday, but once the sun gained some height, the grey puffs were quickly dispatched. Now another day of blue skies and bright sunshine awaits. Temps will continue to range from 40s at night to near 60° by midday. Trails are mostly dry, although a handful of well shaded places are trying their darnedest to hold on to the last of the snow. Trails to the summit are clear of obstructions, even the likes of Brushy Mountain should one attempt the rarely taken 9.1 mile option. The autumn leaf change is in full swing across the middle elevations. Both in the distance and on the slopes of Mt. LeConte, more reds and oranges have started to pop.
Have a great day.
