Mount Mitchell. What can I say to explain this majestic mountain? It is hard to explain in just words. If you haven't been there your missing out on absolutely the most breathtaking hiking and scenery you could ever imagine. The above photo was taken at the summit around 6pm EST. You can see rows and rows of ridges of the Appalachians until they disappear.
Here is a map of how to get there https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=map+to+mount+mitchell&fb=1&gl=us&hq=to+mount+mitchell&ei=JZGqUL_VB4nI9QTL6IDADg&ved=0CLIBELYD
The mountain was named after Elisha Mitchell, a proffesor of Geology at the University of North Carolina. He was the first to measure this peak in 1835 and was measured at 6,684 feet (2,037 m) high at the very highest rock. It is the highest point in all the Applalachian Mountains.
Elisha now rests in eternal peace on his beloved mountain. You can walk by his tomb at the peak.
