*** Part of my Highpoint Series ***
Terrain Difficulty: Easy (slight slope, 400 yards RT)
Status: alive
Mt Mitchell, at 6,684 feet, is not only the highest point in North Carolina, but the highest point east of the Mississippi and was inspiration for one of the nation’s first state parks. From its easily accessible observation deck, the spruce-fir forest of Mt Mitchell SP leads the eye to unmatched views and this letterbox.

Find a path leading into the woods and go on it 10 steps then left off trail 5 steps to double-trunk tree growing on top of a boulder. LB is under back side of boulder under rocks & needles.
Hike length: 0.1 miles
