Mount Mitchell State Park

The highest mountain in the Black Mountain Range.

Reviewed By V2904KMrobinm - Hendersonville, United States

The drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway is full of long range views; at every turn you are impressed . When you reach the park entrance, you have 2 more miles to the summit. The Mt. Mitchell restaurant is along this road about half way. There is no charge to enter the park. Once at the top there are ample areas for picnicking, hiking trails, small museum, gift shop and some snacks for purchase. It is much cooler than Asheville. It is worth the trip for sure

Roaring Fork Falls

Reviewed By 119rebeccaw

This is an easy walk on a service road, enjoying animals and plants. The water fall is spectacular. Be certain to use restroom before you start.There is not a restroom on the walk. I go every October.
