Review:
Mount Mitchell reaches 6,684 feet in elevation at its summit, making it the highest point in America east of the Mississippi, and the park surrounding the peak is certainly one of the most beautiful in the region.
Via the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, visitors can even drive to the summit, where they will follow the mountain road through twists and turns to the observation deck for a spectacular 360 degree view of the park and surrounding peaks and region.
For the more athletically inclined, Mount Mitchell is also accessible by hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulties.
