    The summit of Chimney Tops has been closed since 2016, and might not ever open back up. The strenuous hike just isn’t worth the outcome now. Plus, Laurel Falls is closed in 2025 and into early 2026 for trail maintenance.

    A fun variation on the LaConte via Alum Cave ( with two cars or someone to pick you up) is to start at Newfound Gap. Hike the AT to Boulevard Trail and take that way down past LaConte and Alum Cave.
