Abstract:

For mountain hikers, the northwestern part of North Carolina is hard to beat. Part of the attraction is that the mountain trails are closer to population centers, less crowded, and cooler in the summer than the better known ones in the Smokies. Johnson describes several of these mountains, including Mt. Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain, and Roan Mountain.
