My wife and I got lucky back in 2017 the week it opened for the season. Cloudless sky and 60's. Some of the most beautiful views you can imagine.

When we went at the end of July it was awesome. Not a bad hike at all. That area is the kids favorite end of summer trip destination. The like going into Cades Cove and hiking to Abrams Falls. Well that and Dollywood and all, too

Me, my son and my wife did the hike from the Alum Cave Trail up to the lodge as a day hike a few years ago. Found a nice quite spot and ate our lunch, refilled some water bottles for the hike down on the pump. I think it is about 11-12 miles roundtrip and a lot of man made stairs to aid in the steep spots.

Going out on a limb here and guessing you don't know what the boulevard actually is.

I looked that place up this morning and wondered if you were staying there to have photos

Nope, the Lodge has a Facebook page where they’ve been posting them.

Yep, believe so. That’s why I won’t be making a visit anytime soon.

Been up to the lodge a few times in my life. It’s a great hike.

And you're basically a walking ad for Invisalign, if you DIDNT use their services.

The only “mountains” on the east coast that have a true mountain appearance are the presidential range in the northeast.
