SUMMARY:Men’s Annual Mt. LeConte Hike and Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Plans are underway once again to gather as a group to spend time together in God’s country. Men of all ages who are physically capable of hiking at an easy pace 8 miles to the summit of Mt. LeConte are invited. The cabins accommodate 20 men.\nWe typically meet for an evening meal in Cherokee the night before the hike. We take advantage of that time to get acquainted and share a thoughtful discussion presented informally by a member of the Christ Church clergy. It sets a theme to consider as we hike up the mountain the following day.\nA Group/Block of rooms is ready for reservations at the Great Smokies Inn in Cherokee. Guests have until 9/28/2026 to make reservations with the group.\n\n\nRate is $79.00 plus tax\n\nGuest need to state they are with the Charlotte LeConte Group\n\nIf there are issues or questions with room stay, please contact Kristy Johnson at 877-214-5547 or 828-497-2020.\nLeConte Lodge (250 Apple Valley Road, Sevierville, TN 37862) is a welcoming rustic group of cabins with a dining hall. We meet before the evening meal for discussion, then eat a hearty supper, and celebrate Compline together on the summit after the sun goes down. The cabins are heated but without electricity – light is provided by kerosene lanterns. Many get up early to watch the sunrise on Myrtle Point. We will have breakfast together, then hike back down the mountain.\nThe food is simple, the setting at 6,400 feet is refreshing, and the fellowship enriching. This hike has become a pilgrimage-like event for many of the participants who return yearly.\nTo reserve your spot ($302.60), contact Stuart Garner at sjggag@bellsouth.net ( mailto:sjggag@bellsouth.net ) or 704-996-9230. (If you need to cancel you will be reimbursed if someone takes your place.)\n
