Approximately 2hrs 45 mins from Charlotte Mt. Mitchell has the highest elevation in North Carolina, peaking at 6684ft.
We did a day trip. Started early to be there in order to beat the crowd. Parked our car at the summit and went from there.

We did the 3miles one way, Old Mitchell trail. It’s a rocky one and loved the climbing here and there. Super lovely visuals and crisp air made the trip back and forth a treat.
Don’t forget to cozy up if you are planning a trip there and remember to take a picture at its highest point.
