Abstract:

Towering 6,684 feet above sea level, North Carolina's Mount Mitchell is the highest peak in Eastern America. On the summit is a North Carolina State Park in which no point is less than a mile above sea level. From many points along the Blue Ridge Parkway, there are superlative views of Mitchell and its rugged neighboring peaks in the Black Mountain Range between Asheville and Spruce Pine.
