Thought I'd take you along on a solo hike I did last summer! Well, a VERY brief stint because I definitely didn’t do this in 15 seconds. Mount Mitchell is the tallest peak east of the Mississippi at an elevation of 6,684ft.
📍 Mount Mitchell
🥾 11.9mi out & back
💪🏼 Hard
🐶 Pet friendly
If you hike up from the bottom, you'll tackle nearly 4,000ft of elevation gain in a little over 5 miles. OR you can drive to the top 🚙 This hike kicked my ass. I got lapped by an old man, but I did the dang thing 💪🏼
