It didn't snow but the ground was covered with ice and snow and the summit was as windy as ever. Great hike though, prob my favorite in the state.

There was nothing wrong with that tower. They tore it down to build a new one which is now handicap accessible. Sad though, the view isn't as good as it used to be. :(
The new tower is ... By: 06harleybabe. on 22 Jun 09, 07:11:04 The new tower is supposed to be more handicap-accessible (I think). My husband and I walked up to the old tower in the dead of winter once and about froze our tails off! There was hoarfrost on the antenna sticking out sideways about 10" long and the wind cut you in two. Exposed flesh went numb in about 30 seconds. No wonder the old-timers didn't live up there.

I noticed last July ... By: pserpas. on 11 Dec 06, 20:49:16 I noticed last July when I went up the tower that it was deteriorating badly. I sure am glad I got to go up the old tower one last time!

Very nice mountain ... By: donerdeljac. on 10 Feb 10, 17:34:53 Very nice mountain - how fortunate we are to have such a place to play! From your picture of the (frozen) weather station, that explains why some of the real time online features of that service are not functioning right now. You lucked out with a clear day; not so right now as seen from the web cam on top of the mountain.....from DON in PITTSBURGH

Three French Horns continue their search for the most resonant setting for their music, using Mount Mitchell's 6684 feet of altitude, various lookout points and various tunnels to play a concert, and be obnoxious.
February 10, 2008: Making our way to the summit of Mount Craig in North Carolina (6663 ft). Winds were gusting in excess of 70 mph and temperatures were in the 20's.

Even though clouds, mist, and fog prevented me from taking scenic photos from the 6684' summit of North Carolina's highest peak, I still enjoyed a great morning sightseeing across portions of western North Carolina (Cherokee, Maggie Valley, and along the Blue Ridge Parkway).
In this episode of Outdoor Adventures in the Carolinas your host, Susan Osborne, explores Mount Mitchell State Park. From the breath taking views to the many activities available at the park, this is an adventure you won't want to miss!
