Mt. Mitchell State Park (Mt. Mitchell & Commissary Trails) - 9/4/2011




Location: Mount Mitchell State Park
Date: 9/4/2011
How far we went: 3.56mi
How long it took us: 2:37:14
Elevation reached:  6544ft
Weather: lil chilly, windy, rainy, wet


Well... Another rainy vacation day. Remnants from a hurricane/tropical storm or whatever were definitely there to greet us when we arrived. If you didn't know, the peak of this mountain is the highest point east of the Mississippi. Decided not to be a tourist and take the picture with the sign saying so. We went down the Mt. Mitchell trail which was pretty easy, then hooked a right along a bridal trail filled with (horse) shit and headed up the Commissary trail. Not a bad little place. Shout-out to the staff there, they were really nice. Didn't like it as much as Grandfather Mountain, then again, we didn't have all that much time. be sure to check it out if you're in Western, NC. Here are some pictures, but view the whole set here.
