Mt. Mitchell is the tallest mountain east of the Mississippi River standing at 6,683 feet. I had the chance to summit the mountain on a beautiful October day with a few friends from NC. We made the 11 mile round trip trek in about 7 and half hours. The fall colors were in full bloom and the sun was out and shining. We could not have asked for a more lovely day to climb the mountain. My favorite quote of the trip, "after a half mile, I knew this was going to be bad." My friend Jonathon said that after we got back to the bottom. We all made it and had smiling faces on top. It is so wonderful to be able to enjoy the beautiful creations God has provided us - I feel such a peace and calm when I am out in the woods!
