My "Unofficial Smoky Mountain Triple Crown"

Attempted the park's three highest summits over a weekend. All following the SB6K challenge rules.

**Kuwohi (6,643')** **Guyot (6,621')** **LeConte (6,593')**

The routes: **Kuwohi** \~8 mi / 2,000 ft. Fork Ridge TH, AT out-and-back, also tags Collins, Love, and Buckley. Smooth and runnable. Can stretch this out if you want to start from Newfound Gap TH, but chose a shorter route bc this was a travel day. **Guyot** \~16 mi / 5,000 ft. Snake Den Ridge to the AT, then a trailless bushwhack to the summit. Route also tags Old Black via another short bushwhack. **LeConte** \~15mi / 4,400 ft. Up Rainbow Falls, down Bull Head. Rocky climb, smooth runnable descent. Mount Leconte is very anticlimactic but Myrtle point is worth it. Best payoff of the three days imo.

Kuwohi and LeConte are fun runs. Guyot bushwhack is reportedly fairly easy, but I got turned back this past weekend due to heavy winds and tree falls. Happy to share CalTopo maps and detailed beta if anyone wants it.
