Mt. LeConte has always been my favorite point to hike to for the past thirty (30) years or so. So when my daughter who was born a natural runner starting taking up hiking with me at the age of four (4). I knew our short term goal would be for her to top Mt. LeConte [third highest peak in the area at 6,593 ft] without assistance. The only hard part about getting someone her age to do… keep her from trying to skip her way to the top. I failed.
