Mt. Mitchell - North Carolina
Mount Mitchell State Park is located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, North Carolina. The park and the mountain are named in honor of Dr. Elisha Mitchell who in 1835 determined it to be the highest mountain east of the Mississippi River. Mt. Mitchell is 6,684 above sea level. Dr. Mitchell has a place of honor at the summit where he was laid to rest.
Winter on Mount Mitchell
Photographed, Edited and Written by Chanse Simpson
At 6,684 feet, Mount Mitchell is the highest peak East of the Mississippi River, and home to North Carolina's first state park. The weather on the mountain is more typical of Canada than the Southern United States. In the winter months, the park is frequently slammed with snowstorms, and often has more than 100 inches of snow annually. For the rangers and maintenance staff who live on the mountain, dealing with the snow and sub-zero temperatures is a constant challenge. This video shows a storm's arrival in the park, and the snowplow operation as workers fight to clear the roads and keep a path open to the outside world. It features storm footage, and many shots of deep snow drifts in the park. And because it was made in 2004, it shows the old tower on top of the mountain (that has since been replaced by a wide viewing platform that is accessible by a ramp). This documentary is featured regularly in the park's interpretive program. Designated by the state legislature in 1915, Mount Mitchell State Park is located in the Black Mountain Range in Yancey County, NC and encompasses nearly 2000 acres.

On top of the highest peak east of the Mississippi River; it stands at 6,684ft above sea level, yes that's well over a mile high! This is the new observation deck constructed not too long ago. It was a little breezy there, but it's usually windy anyway, and considering the mountain's treacherous climate this was actually a very calm and peaceful day.

Monday morning ride on a beautiful gravel road from 5,400 feet to 2,000 feet. We had the road to ourselves as we saw not a single vehicle! I edited this video to include only about 1/5th the total ride.
