Most of the below hikes are covered due to the length. Mount Mitchell Trail is also due to elevation up and down the highest peak in eastern USA. Black Mountain Crest Trail is the hardest overall listed below due to multiple ups and downs over high ridge peaks with some bouldering. | |||
Others are medium trails, but listed as hard due to current trail condition. The Bays Mountain Park trails, Roaring Branch Trail, and Chief Benge Scout Trail all still have some winter storm damage from 2009. Climbing over fallen trees or hacking through rhododendron could be involved. | |||
Hiking a section of these trails could afford an easy to medium experience. Out to Mt. Craig and back along the Black Mountain Crest Trail from Mountain Mitchell State Park would be a much easier day hike. | Hiking a section of these trails could afford an easy to medium experience.
