Mount Mitchell

One of those spots that stand separated from the customary, Mount Mitchell's sensational summit is the most astounding point east of the Mississippi at 6,684 feet and was motivation for one of the country's first state parks. From its effectively available perception deck, the spruce-fir woodland of Mount Mitchell State Park drives the eye to unmatched perspectives.

An exhibition hall clarifies the mountain's social and regular history, and its trail arrange enables guests to investigate very close, offering short climbs close to the summit and testing treks prompting adjoining wild regions. A nine-site tent campground is open in warm-climate months, and hiking openings proliferate, including passage onto the Mountains-to-Sea State Trail. A concession territory and a full-benefit eatery serve guests from May to October.
