Quote from LIhikers: “We had a good night in the park. For once there were more tents than trailers and motorhomes. I only heard 1 generator running in the evening.

I am not sure how many AT hikers actually know that Mt. Mitchell is actually the tallest point east of the Mississippi. I think there is a trail that now connects the AT to Mount Mitchell, but I have not heard of any thrus making the side trip.

LI Hikers, I would think the earlier the better. Or, wait till the fall to miss the worst of the heat of the South. S
