View Mt. Mitchell overlook

USA / North Carolina / Old Fort /

This overlook provides a good view of the Black Mountain range, including Mt. Mitchell. Located on Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 350. Elevation 4825. Many people at this overlook mistake Clingman's Peak for Mt. Mitchell. Clingman's Peak is the one with radio towers and Mitchell is much farther to the right. Unfortunately it's no longer as easy to spot the summit because the state park dimwits removed the observation tower in 2007.
