Mount Le Conte

Mount Le Conte is the third-highest peak in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, but in sheer rise it has no equal in the East: it climbs about 1,616 m (5,301 ft) from its base near Gatlinburg to High Top, 2,010 m (6,593 ft). The massif carries four summits above 6,000 ft, including Cliff Tops and Myrtle Point. Which Le Conte it honours is still argued; federal mapmakers credit the geologist Joseph, while local historians favour his brother John, a physicist. In 1925, as the campaign for a national park gathered pace, Paul Adams set up a tent camp near the top to host visiting officials. Jack Huff built the first cabins the following year, and LeConte Lodge still operates with no road, supplied by pack llamas.

Our solid hardwood cribbage boards are modeled with actual topographic data to capture any place on earth. Each board has a storage space for three sets of metal pegs behind a custom-etched stainless steel door. Boards measure roughly 350mm (13.5”) long by 190mm (7.5") wide by 90mm (3.5”) tall and are finished with tung oil for durability and a slight sheen. Additional options include a custom message or logo etched on the stainless steel door tag (32 characters max, +$10), and an engraved name, message or logo on the side or underside of the board (+$20 standard, +$40 with a contrasting filler). Side and underside engraving is sized to fit the board, typically no taller than 1 inch (25 mm). For a logo, send us a PNG through our contact form after you order, with your order number.

Our products are designed, crafted, and finished in Alberta, Canada.
