Snow-dusted ridges of Mount Le Conte rise under a clear blue sky, framed by evergreen and bare deciduous branches heavy with fresh snow. Low cloud or mist clings to the slopes below the summit. The caption calls winter "a time of enchantment" in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and identifies the view as Mount Le Conte from Mount Harrison, near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Mount Le Conte is one of the park's high peaks, and Gatlinburg sits at the park's edge as a gateway town.
Full-bleed color image with no white border and no printed caption on the front; color and grain consistent with a mid-century chrome-era card.
