Mount Le Conte, Carved in White Oak

The tallest mountain in the Smokies measured base to summit.

Why Mount Le Conte

Mount Le Conte is the third-highest peak in the park by elevation at 6,593 feet, but it’s the tallest in the range when measured from its own base — rising more than 5,300 feet from Gatlinburg at its foot. It’s also home to LeConte Lodge, the only backcountry lodge in the national park, reachable only on foot after a hike of five to eight miles depending on the trail.

Carved With the Same Appalachian Craft

Every piece starts with real elevation data turned into an accurate 3D model, then CNC-carved and hand-finished in black walnut, cherry, white oak, or ash — sourced locally in these same mountains where possible. Le Conte’s dramatic base-to-summit relief carves in with striking depth against pale, strong white oak.
