SEVIERVILLE — The Sevierville Parks and Recreation Department has announced a guided hike to Mount LeConte, scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 21. Participants will ascend Mount LeConte using the Trillium Gap Trail. A rain date has been designated for Wednesday, Oct. 28, in the event of inclement weather.
This specific outdoor activity is offered free of charge by the Sevierville Parks and Recreation Department. The hike is designed to be a guided experience, ensuring participants have support throughout the journey. To maintain a manageable group size and provide an optimal experience, participation is strictly limited to 10 individuals. Furthermore, prospective hikers must be at least 18 years old to be eligible for this excursion. These limitations are in place to ensure participant safety and the quality of the guided experience.
Registration for this limited-capacity event is currently available. Individuals interested in joining the hike can complete their registration through multiple channels. Online registration is an option, as is registering by phone at 865-453-5441. Alternatively, in-person registration can be completed at the Sevierville Community Center. It is important for all registrants to be aware that meeting time and the specific location for the start of the hike will be communicated to them after their registration has been successfully processed.
The deadline for all registrations is set for Sunday, Oct. 18, at 12 p.m. Due to the strict limit of 10 participants, early registration is encouraged. Once the maximum number of participants has been reached, a waiting list will be established to accommodate additional interested individuals in the order they register. This system ensures that if any registered participants are unable to attend, their spots can be filled by those on the waiting list.
Prospective hikers are required to complete certain documentation as part of the registration process. Both a liability release form and medical forms must be submitted. These necessary forms can be completed either online, concurrent with online registration, or in person when registering at the Sevierville Community Center.
