Mount Mitchell Trail | Strenuous 12-Mile Hike to Highest Peak in Eastern U.S. | North Carolina

In July, my daughter, Joella, and I hiked the tallest peak east of the Mississippi. We summitted Mount Mitchell, a peak in Western North Carolina contained within one of the nation’s first state parks. The hike starts in the Pisgah National Forests and ends within the Mount Mitchell State Park of North Carolina. Not only is Mount Mitchell the highest of all summits in the Eastern United States, it is the fifth most isolated peak in all of North America, almost 1200 miles from another peak of its size. It stands at 6,684 feet and provides great views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Due to the high elevation and prominence, weather at the top can be severe. The average annual snowfall is 75 inches and winds of up 178 mph have been recorded there. Our late July day, however, brought beautiful, modest summer weather.
