Appalachia Trip #7: Mount Mitchell

After visiting Round Bald on our third day in Appalachia, the school trip I chaperoned took a drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway, taking in the amazing scenery.  We detoured off the parkway for a visit to the top of Mount Mitchell.  Mount Mitchell is located in North Carolina and is the highest point in the United States east of the Mississippi river.

The road takes you close to the top of Mount Mitchell, so the walk to the top is not a long one.  As expected, it brings some amazing views.

Wow!!!  I've said it many times in these posts, but this is another must-see if traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.  You can't beat views such as this, so don't pass it up!!!
