1950 Smoky Mountains Tennessee

This beautiful 1950s vintage lithograph postcard captures a breathtaking view of Mt. Le Conte, rising 6,593 feet above sea level—one of the highest peaks in the Great Smoky Mountains. The view from Newfound Gap showcases the mountain’s distinctive features, from left to right: Balsam Point, Cliff Top, High Point, and Myrtle Point.

The foreground is rich with dense forest, filled with a mix of evergreen trees in varying shades of green, creating a lush and layered landscape. Two tall, dark evergreens on the right draw the eye, contrasting beautifully with the lighter foliage around them. In the background, Mt. Le Conte looms with its forest-covered slopes and a lighter patch—possibly a rock outcrop or clearing—adding visual interest. Above, the pale blue sky dotted with soft white clouds completes the serene scene.

Several hiking and horseback trails lead to the summit, making Mt. Le Conte a favorite destination for nature lovers and adventurers. A stunning piece of national park history, perfect for collectors of vintage postcards, Smoky Mountains memorabilia, or classic American landscapes.
